That may be true, but my understanding is that all market survey work
done to date has shown consumers to soundly reject an airplane without

Is there enough of a cargo market to make a cargo-only design?

I know I'm being just a little absurd here, but imagine if you came up with
a design which was so much more efficient than the current fleet that it
could capture 100% of the cargo market over the next 10 years. Could you
make that fly with no pax sales?
