Federal investigators and lawmakers are asking the same question about Boeing Co.’s 737 MAX jet: Did U.S. safety regulators rigorously follow longstanding engineering and design standards in approving a suspect stall-prevention feature?

Officials from the Justice Department and the Transportation Department inspector general’s office are looking into how Boeing developed the aircraft, which has been involved in two fatal crashes within five months.
