Have you ever heard of Charles H. Duell?
He was the Commissioner of US patent office in 1899. Mr. Deull's most famous attributed utterance is that "everything that can be invented has been invented."
- anovikov 9y agoBy inventing new physics/materials/production processes which will allow to build say, jet engines with much hotter hot sections, resulting in quantum leap in efficiency? Sure, but all of these startups are using stock engines. By inventing way to build airframes that are immune to both rusting and cracking and will require no X-rays or other (costly and time-consuming) inspections? Sure, people will jump on it! It will be a game changer. But no one seems to be trying. But not by simply fixing the broken business processes, the way Elon Musk did it with space rockets - building essentially same planes, but 'better'. Because in the world of private jets, things are not broken, that is a real competitive market.
