U.S. aviation and congressional officials are investigating allegations by about a dozen whistleblowers that there are safety issues with Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraft, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unidentified government employees familiar with the matter.
Some of the claims relate to the design of a suspect flight-control feature or operation of specific sensors that are key to fatal crashes of two 737 Max jets, according to the report.
