It gets scarier, they compare it to the Concorde based on price:
Unlike Concorde, flying Boom is affordable—the same price as business class.
Ok, so the Concorde had some critical engineering faults, making it cheaper definitely sounds more secure.
- robotresearcher 11y agoThe early promises for Concorde said it would be cost effective too.
- petercooper 11y agoPrior to the (2000) accident, Concorde had been arguably the safest operational passenger airliner in the world in passenger deaths-per-kilometres travelled with zero
- zokier 11y agoIsn't the deaths-per-km generally zero prior to the first accident of any airliner?
- petercooper 11y agoHow may airliners are in service for 24 years before their first fatal accident? (The 717 is up to 17 years. The A340 is almost at 24.)
- robotresearcher 11y agoThere were 14 in-service Concordes. There are hundreds of most airliners. After the single accident, the Concorde's death per passenger km record doesn't look so hot.
