Default It is costly fuel. Right?

No, you're wrong. Mass production of airplanes has never
happened. During WWII, we came close, actually built 10-
15- maybe 30,000 of the same basic model, in four years.
Total production by England, Canada, Germany, Italy, and of
course the USA, was still not equal to the production of one
assembly line for one model of Chevy in one year.


Aviation fuel costs more because it is only about 7/10 of
one percent of the refined fuels and it requires special
handling, certification and storage.
