737 MAX
Grounded Boeing jet
The 737 MAX is a series of Boeing commercial aircraft that became notorious after two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed 346 people, leading to a worldwide grounding.
Investigations revealed flawed flight-control software and regulatory failures.
The name has become shorthand for corporate cost-cutting compromising safety: The project had real 737 MAX energy—everyone knew something was wrong but nobody stopped it.
