Prof. Avižienis: Boeing Airplanes Crashed Due to Lack of Extra Sensors
Two new Boeing 737 MAX airplanes crashed with the loss of 346 lives because Boeing did not install a pair of redundant Angle-of-Attack (AoA) sensors in addition to the original two AoA sensors that are on both sides of the 737 MAX nose.
