As a consequence of a huge risk that development of a new structural solution inevitably brings (which is additionally emphasized by the compelling need of the profits increase), the importance of striving for the best technical solution is now quite diminished. As a result, instead of pursuing for the new and more advanced structures, today we aspire for partial redesign of the old models, which proved to be reliable in the past. Yet, this may be the right way if it involves keeping those options that still do not have a better alternative, instead of chasing innovation at any cost, but can become very dangerous if the mentioned approach is so abused that it settles to the application of alterations in which even basic principles are not followed, that we all know has happened within ‘the Max affair’. However, when it comes to the concept of redesign, between the two mentioned extremes, there is a whole range of different approaches, of which we will analyse the one we have observed within Boeing’s structural solutions and would simply define it as a mitigation of a bad design in the case where, according to our opinion, the whole solution should be completely rejected.
