If they wanted to, we'd sell them engines.

I think it ends up being a gradual transition.

Absolutely.

I think 130 is not nearly enough.

If people who fly first-year business today on a route where supersonic is going to be meaningfully faster and where the airlines can operate profitably, airlines are going to need 1,400 jets.

of these jets.

And that's not assuming people fly more and flights are faster.

But for me, I'm gonna go to London more when it's half the time.

I'm gonna go to Tokyo more when it's half the time.

So probably 1,400 is a low number.

Probably it's gonna be way more than that.

Yeah, I think there can be...

I think there'll be a middle period where premium goes supersonic and subsonic is about low cost.

And that'll be sort of a middle period.

And then the cost of supersonic is going to come down and more and more people are going to say it's worth it.

And then there's an economic effect that I think is widely underappreciated.

We call it the speed dividend.

When you go faster, your main cost challenge is just the energy consumption.

And so you work really hard to make the airplane as energy efficient, as fuel efficient as it can be.

But most of the other costs of flying are proportional to time, not distance.
