Boeing 737 MAX: History, Safety Concerns, and Return to Flight

The 737 MAX is a narrow-body aircraft designed and manufactured by Boeing. It's the fourth generation of the 737 series and was introduced in 2011. The MAX version features new engines, advanced avionics, and other enhancements for improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise. However, the aircraft was involved in two fatal crashes, leading to its grounding worldwide in March 2019. Since then, Boeing has been collaborating with regulatory authorities to address the issues and implement design and software modifications. The 737 MAX received recertification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in November 2020, and commercial flights resumed in December 2020.
