The aircraft was quickly produced in order to compete with the Airbus A320neo.The then new 737 Max featured bigger engines, improved fuel efficiency, technology upgrades, and better sitting capacities compared to previous 737 models. The engines were slightly repositioned on the wings due to their size affecting the plane's pitch under certain conditions, MCAS was included to compensate for the change in balance by pitching down the aircraft if necessary. When sensor failure occurred like it did in both accidents, the aircraft would be forced into an unpreventable dive. All 737 Max aircraft were grounded for about a year and reintroduced in 2020.
