Airbus is world's leading aircraft maker ...

... for the third successive year.

Boeing 737 Max crashes have been a leading cause of Boeing losing its position as the industry leader.

Some of Boeing's problems are self-inflicted.

With Boeing production stalled, Airbus remains No. 1 jet maker

With Boeing having halted 787 deliveries and 737 MAX deliveries ramping up only slowly, Airbus far outproduced its U.S. rival in 2021, making the European jet maker the world’s top commercial airplane company for the third successive year.

Last year was Boeing’s third mired in successive crises — the MAX crashes and that jet’s extended grounding followed by the global pandemic — that saw its jet deliveries drop from just over 800 in 2018 to a low point of 157 jet deliveries in 2020. With the MAX back in the air last year, Boeing more than doubled that figure in 2021, delivering 340 jets.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Design fault.  Obviously those idiots savants so highly educated forgot some basic principles somewhere... Boeing lead the world in its production line, with the concept that a group built the aircraft from scratch, and was then responsible for all maintenance and upgrades, rather than the assembly line of one person doing one job endlessly.

As a result their warranty repairs etc fell by around 90%+ ... so something has gone wrong......

Either they have abandoned this proven method or their NERDS are failing to understand that physical things are not mental ideas and have certain boundaries.  Apart from that, anyone who owns a computer can see that over-technicalising something always has gremlins in it.... little widgets that play up for no real reason.

We saw the same with Scarebus for a while, but they seem to have overcome their early failures.
