The ‘-8’ was heavily re-engineered in almost every system. The computing technology is several orders of magnitude more advanced and complex. That means engineering, and engineers cost money. Avionics are a substantial portion of the cost of an aircraft.

And people play it because the aircraft is safer, more efficient and reliable. That means it does more and costs less to operate. So companies make their money back.

I hope he also looks at the taxpayer blackhole, also known as VIT Plant in Hanford

$4 billions for a presidential plane!

Do we need more proof that what we have is not a presidency but royalty?

It’s probably been hundreds of years since any royalty was allowed to spend as much on personal expenses as the US president’s family is allowed to spend.

I agree. I have seen many instances where the customer’s actions drive up the cost and time of a project.

Did Obama order plane for Hillary

No. At the earliest, the first of 3 planes would be delivered in 2024 which would be in the last year of the next president's second term assuming reelection.

No $4 billion for 3 nearly identical planes.

But, it’s my guess that Boeing is too far into production to be feasible to cancel. Penalties would probably equate to about the same as finishing the build. Btw, I think they’re building two planes aren’t they?

Art of the Deal: this was just his first step in negotiating the price down.
