commercial airline or economics work is you need to size the airplane for the market it flies on.

You want bigger airplanes to support city pairs that have more traffic.

You want smaller airplanes to be able to fly between city pairs that have less traffic.

There'll probably be a whole family of airplanes of different sizes.

There's no upper limit to scaling.

There is a slight advantage in smaller airplanes because they can work economically on more direct flights.

Nobody wants to go to a hub and change airplanes, right?

But if you can make an efficient long-range airplane with a smaller number of seats on it, then you can connect more cities directly.

And that's an added speed benefit.

So there's going to be a whole family of airplanes here.

Our goal is to have the first Overture rollout in a little over two years in 2027.

Wow.

Fly in 28.

Our goal is to be certified in 29 and hand them over to airlines in 30.

So five years is the goal.

No, we have sold to airlines.

So United was first to announce that they'd put an order in with a non-refundable deposit.

American Airlines did the same thing.

Japan Airlines was the first to do a pre-order.

And I think ultimately every international airline is going to need to have this because it's what their passengers want.
