An artist's rendering of three hybrid electric aircraft envisioned by Zunum Aero that would have spanned 12 seats to 100.s Boeing’s legal problems mount over safety problems with its 737 Max airliner, the aerospace giant suffered a potentially expensive loss Thursday in a lawsuit brought by a failed startup it had invested in.

Subtracting $20.8 million in damages that the jury determined Zunum could have prevented, Judge James Robart could award Zunum a maximum of $235 million. Boeing said it plans to appeal the judgment. In a court filing, Boeing claimed that it only developed a conceptual mock-up of Zunum’s design to assess its feasibility, and had no plans to build a competing aircraft. Ultimately, itcame to believe that Zunum didn’t have the technical ability to deliver on its plans and abandoned the deal.
