Hi Dominic. I've been reading your work and it has been outstanding! Hear is a question that puzzles me:

For the entire MAX family, why didn't/couldn't Boeing utilize the newly designed telescoping main landing gear of the 737 MAX 10, which extends 9.5" longer than the same gear on the MAX 8/9?

Perhaps this additional ground clearance would have allowed the Leap engines to be located back underneath the wings where the NG's engines were, thus mitigating the pitch up effect to a large degree?

I'm sure The Seattle Times could investigate this and get the real answer.
