You have confused the auto business with the airplane business. Auto manufacturing allows economies of scale unatainable by aircraft mfg. And remember, auto makers break even or lose money on many of their models. Like I said they just need the volume and it could be done. Where is the demand going to come from? There are not enough people interested in flying their own planes to even come close to providing manufacturers any economy of scale. At that price it would replace all of the current old 150 to180 size aircraft. An Arrow replace a 180? I don't think so. Your right I should of said fixed gear aircraft. I rest my case. |

Boy, he certainly has done his market research. Next he'll tell us how he can avoid FAA certification and parts STC's. |
