| Aug 26, 2015 at 21:31 | comment | added | Ethan | It would take lots of money. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | jwenting | @curious_cat that's the point, they DO NOT make an aircraft because they'd be in competition with a large saturated market. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 14:29 | comment | added | reirab | @curious_cat Also, GE Aviation doesn't just make the engines. They also make avionics, etc. One of my friends designs avionics for them. IIRC, he's been working mostly on systems for the 737. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 12:14 | comment | added | curious_cat | @jwenting Which aircraft does GE make that a 100+ seat model would compete with? To me it sounded forward integration. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | jwenting | @curious_cat why would they throw away a few billion at designing and marketing an aircraft that would compete with other aircraft they already make a few billion on supplying the engines? | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 8:16 | comment | added | curious_cat | The one company that I've always expected to jump into this business is GE. I wonder why they don't. They have the deep pockets & the aviation connections from their engines division. Besides they are already into heavy industries that would give them the talent & facilities for constructing 100+ PAX aircraft. | |
