Kludge, duct tape, work-arounds…

Postby 3WE » Sat May 04, 2024 3:49 am

I hate to be such a naive, weenie outsider, but wouldn’t it be easier to adapt a 787 wing to a 757 and forget about MCASSING and low-rider hydraulic lift kits?

It can’t be that hard to redesign the 757 lavs to be more tiny.

Oh c'mon now, reconfiguring landing gear can't be that hard - these guys seem to have figured it out:
