Carsten,
I thought about technology and users.....or dreamers.... and flight came to
mind since flying became a goal right after the first bird appeared. Man
did all type of prototypes in order to achieve this dream. However, if we
look at the development of the airplane which now gives up the ability to
fly.. we see mass flight not individualized flight. Where did the plan for
flight change direction? Why did it not ever evolve into my flying machine
rather than jumbo jets. Now they say AirBus plans a 1000 seater....
Where is my one seater? MY ThunderJet? In red of course.
