SUPER SONIC!

The development cost of the 777 in early 90s dollars was about $15 billion. I'm unsure if that includes the R&D needed to make a PW4000-112, Trent 800, or GE90 (I suspect it does). All of that was an iteration on mostly-existing ideas just scaled-up.

January 1992 is the current point when $2 today was worth $1 back then, so maybe more like $30 billion now. Not to mention the CASM for going faster, higher, and further scales with each of those inputs.

I believe this guy is wearing a buttocks for a hatte.
 
"Oh yah sure there's a $100 fare ... but only one seat on the plane when they redeem a million miles from your credit cards, and you have to stand up and wait when a real passenger needs to make."

On the up-side, everyone has probably figured out to not •-around with CATIA versions anymore.

I think SpaceX “Planet Hopper” is going to beat “Boom” and render it irrelevant.
