yep you are right 206Jock. He’s been way off with his timelines. Agree nothing airborne till end 2024 and nothing in production till 2026 and even then will be ambitious to produce 100 in first year.
so what? Agree it’s a bit misleading and JH should know better being an engineer with 20 yrs experience in aviation, and yes probably does it to enhance deposit sales which funds Development. Does that really rubbish the whole thing though? Other than timeframes do you have any other major criticisms of the hx50?
