> Doesn’t sound like a big market, and it has to compete with cargo planes (faster, more capacity than this Pathfinder 1 with only 4 tons) and helicopters (more nimble). Some companies manage to be successful by tapping a market whose demand comes up rarely but is highly inelastic. We're talking about stuff like sea lifters that can handle ocean liners, or even mobile power stations. I'm sure that some deep-pocketed organizations whose know-how focuses on subcontracting and commissioning work, like the UN, would willingly pay a premium to be able to transport large volumes of cargo throughout regions with little to no transportation infrastructure and where roadway traffic is a major volnerability. Being able to secure logistics without having to control routes or have to police anyone would be worth a small fortune.
