Looks cool, and a great way for billionaires to get to and from climate change conferences.
Considering how long it's taking them to get their spaceship certified, I'd say we'll see this plane by 2050.
When is this project ever going to get finished? They keep changing their goals and what they are doing every couple of years.
So it will basically be a small private business size craft. Where are plans for a craft that could be viably commercial, like the Concorde?
