m... (Dave O'Neill) wrote in message m... you have to cover the $30m initial input. Which requires in the region of 150 flights for an individual vehicle. Obviously, the question then is what the onward cost of the additional vehicles are. Why would you design a vehicle to last for only 150 flights? I expect Armadillo, with their fast evolutionary vehicle development approach, would want to be designing for early obsolescence of this order, though individual components might be used beyond this. With market and technological maturity, it might become otherwise, in due course. Pete. |
