- masonic 8y agoIt doesn't include engines or avionics?
- inferiorhuman 8y agoEngines are typically bought from the engine manufacturer. The bigger ones cost tens of millions of dollars each.
- masonic 8y agoI was referring to the quoted price and asking whether that price point includes engines and/or avionics.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoGiven that the airplane manufacturers typically aren't the ones selling the engines (or the required maintenance) the list price is for the airframe itself. I believe Chrichton touches on this in his book, Airframe.
