    This document discusses the engineering ethical issues that arose during the development of Boeing's 737 MAX aircraft. The placement of new, larger engines further forward on the wing required design changes that affected the aircraft's aerodynamics and caused it to pitch up during acceleration and at high angles of attack. Rather than fully re-certifying the aircraft with its new systems as required for safety, Boeing avoided this process due to time and cost concerns. As a result, the aircraft was operated without pilots being properly trained on the new software system, which ultimately caused two deadly crashes killing hundreds of people due to design flaws.

    a) Explain what are Industry 4.0s ethical challenges

    4LL
    1■■ J'1:1 ? j 1 l a t

    b) The story of Boeing


    1, Investigate the engineering ethical issues in the above scenario
    The reason of the problem started when that new large engines
    required Boeing engineers to place them far a head of the wing
    leading edge to achieve ground clearance
    This change in design affected aerodynamics of the craft and also
    caused two main problems:-

    -Tend to pitch up while accelerating


    -Tend to pitch up during high angle of attack

    After the new design, the aircraft considered a new and different
    aircraft with new operational system which requires new training

    The first ethic violation: avoiding re-certification due to time and cost
    needed
    The second ethic violation: bumping passenger safety to a middle seat

    The new software causes killing more people


    Also Boeing denies the allegations of new design effect on safety and
    operated the aircraft with out re-certification and this caused many
    losses such as killing people, accidents, loss of reputation and
    lowering stock value
