And since it is doubtfull you could build an airplane with automated machinery that inputs sheet steel, stamps out parts, and spot welds them together, airplanes will likely always be labor intensive to build. I dunno. When I learned to fly in the 1970s I asked the Cessna dealer how much a new 172 cost. "Way too much," he said. "$21,000." It WAS a lot, considering that I was making maybe $14000 a year, so it would have cost me 1.5 years' salary. Now a 172 costs well over $200k. What happened? $200K is a long way past 1.5 times my salary. Dan |
