You do not specify economic life, which makes me wonder whether you actually mean design life (how long the aircraft is intended to last) or maybe cycle life (which type is built more durably) | |

As a product that, still to this day, businesses still purchase to put to work and make money over 85 YEARS after it was designed, the 3 is the greatest engineered conveyance of the 20th century in my book. | |
