I also think the alleged market for 1,000+ Eclipse air taxis is utterly unrealistic. I do not believe the market exists for anywhere near that many air taxis within the range and payload capabilities of the Eclipse and given what will be the eventual costs. -------------------- Richard Kaplan www.flyimc.com I agree. The claims of orders for hundreds or thousands of Eclipses are crazy. These proposed air taxi companies don't have any meaningful assets. How are they going to buy a billion dollars worth of airplanes? Mike MU-2

These air taxi companies are going to have to demonstrate that the business model works before they get enough money to buy the airplanes they have ordered. Mike MU-2
