The High Cost of Single Points of Failure

The Boeing 737 MAX MCAS incident highlights the dangers of relying on single points of failure in critical systems. The lack of redundancy in the angle-of-attack sensor, combined with a flawed software design, resulted in catastrophic consequences. Teams must be prepared to identify and address these vulnerabilities proactively to avoid similar incidents.
