Like cars, mass production of personal plane is possible. Mass training
of pilots who can work on pay equal to pay of car-driver is possible.
But still i do not see planes in sky.

Reason is costly fuel. Am i right?


nope. but the other replies I've seen haven't explained my point of view on
the issue.

first, when a car gets a flat, you can stop anywhere to fix it. kind of hard
to do while at 5000 ft.

because of that reason, airplanes need to be 99% perfect at all times. this
ramps up the time for inspection, construction, design, and all the other
"little things" that get multiplied when you get to the finished product of
a vehicle.

look at design issues for safety wire. no such thing exists for cars. and
safety wire is on just about everything on airplanes, and needs to be
removed and installed whenever a part is changed, moved, or altered.

if cars had to go through the same thing, cars would last for 100 years but
garage costs would be about $500/hr instead of $150/hr.
