Following this and other threads, why does a new aeroplane cost so much?
Simple silly comparison for your derision
: cessna caravan (675) vs ferrari (v12)
1.2M vs 0.3M USD
1800 kg (both)
675 (SHP) vs 550 (BHP)
186kts vs 170
similar prod runs
?more composites in ferrari, more aluminium in caravan
FL250 vs ~6'' agl (go the speed humps)
okay, okay I'll shut up soon, but is a PT6 and some avionics really worth the 0.9M USD difference. Besides, try cruising King's X in a flying caravan ...
