Well $1,000/trip is a super low premium to chase. 50 years of commercial airline operations have been hard for niche aircrafts. I'm not bullish on the hopes of a LEO commercial plane in our lifespan. It's a tough equation: - a LEO plane won't be developed without presales that warrant safe funding (ie. from flagship airlines) - incumbents are all about kerosene and do not want to add a significantly different tech to their already complex operations. - new comers will not get access to enough capital to secure the development of a disruptive engine technology Airlines make cash by moving a diversified mix of people and cargo. I just don't see anyone moving to the (super volatile) premium-only market with a supersonic high fixed cost jet.
