Boeing offered the single angle-of-attack sensor as standard equipment, and charged extra for a second along with a “disagree” indicator that would allow 737 MAX pilots to “cross-check” a faulty sensor.
Yeah, that's factually incorrect. All 737 NG/MAX planes have two alpha vanes to detect the angle-of-attack. MCAS only ever uses one at a time.
