  • but...

    if a huge plane is built in 1m and 50s why are them so expensive?

      One thing that surprised me is the painting of the plane was done manually, with really expensive machines that lowered people into place for it! This could have easierly been done with machines that paint

    • im not sure

      for a car or something smaller they would use a painting booth but with something of that scale it would be difficult to do. i was definately interested to see how they did it tho.

    • Forweded

      even if it is forweded 16X the max for this plan to be built is is 30 min.

    • you see

      the workers put their souls into these planes. And souls are quite high on the exchange market nowadays.
      One plane = 27.242 souls. Soul echange rate is $1,344,754 per soul as of the time this post was... erm... posted. Anyway you can do the math.

    • It's a union thing...

      They build a plane in 1 m 50 s and then get 13 paid days off.
