That exactly right

Just compare the development timeline for the 777X (new engines, new wing) to the timeline put out by BOOM who has no experience certifying an engine or airframe…

Just for comparison Mitsubishi wit all their resources failed at the certification of the airframe stage

That’s exactly right, he keeps moving the goalposts.

I’m sure he knows the economic math is challenging and in the end that’s really the product

I love the concept but there are just too many miracles that all need to line up for Symphony to enter commercial service

Looks like you started something

An even bigger hurdle is the MRO aspect. Being able to get all the parts needed to keep a plane flying is a huge aspect of what makes a jet commercially successful

This is one of the reasons for Embraer success and also one of the reasons for the commercial failure of the Sukhoi SSJ
