Boeing has overcome a lot in recent years. But it has a new problem: a hole in its product lineup. Failing to address it could mean lower market share and lower earnings in years to come. The solution could be leaning into new aviation technology to leapfrog rival Airbus.

The crashes were tied to faulty software. The engine also would be a sight. A ducted turbofan basically is a current engine with all the fan blades showing. It helps with engine efficiency even if it looks shocking.
