wrote: You make all valid points Pete. I think it's unfortunate that the Beech/Cessna/Piper trio won't be coming out with anything "new." As other people have said, I think their days are numbered (even though it'll be years if not decades) if they don't take a drastic risk and come out with a new airframe. Maybe the Boeing-Airbus saga of betting the farm on new airframes is destined to become the saga of the GA manufacturers. Anyone out there doing a thesis? That would make for a good subject. If that's the case, I wonder of even Cirrus is willing to come out with a new six-place if it means betting the farm. Maybe Cirrus' SR-2x airframe will follow the PA-28 = PA-32 route and spawn a six-place airframe with the majority of components being similar if not identical. before all this will happen I'd bet that Honda then has already taken over the market. btw: anything new on the Honda plane? #m -- http://www.terranova.net/content/images/goering.jpg |
