The in house rumor is they are using the same engine nacelle but with different materials to satisfy the engineering requirement. It still has to be implemented and tested and then certified. I think a year is pushing it, especially with Boeing being put back into the crawl phase of crawl, walk, run after falling on their faces repeatedly.

Reviving an old post, has ANYONE heard ANYTHING about the MAX 7?

I remember reading last year that Boeing said they "Found a fix" for the anti-ice issue, that they'd be flight testing it, and it should be a done deal in a year.... well a year has come and gone and there's still nothing. The MAX 7 test beds haven't flown in 2+ years for N7201S and 5+ for N7202U.
