We need more aircraft manufacturers. I don't care about efficiency. I care about style.
With a bunch of different companies we'd get some truly weird designs. Twin boom tails on a stealth fighter or some shit. A lot of companies means way more ideas which means more weird planes, which we all like.
So I say we save the weird planes and break up the big aerospace companies.
Who knows, maybe we'll get weird spaceships this time!

Companies that buy airplanes care about efficiency and don't really care about style.
If you want weird, figure out how to make it efficient in some way (flies farther, flies significantly faster, drinks less fuel, dirt cheap to build, dirt cheap to maintain), etc.
One company's "weird" is Boom Supersonic. They're going with "flies significantly faster"
It is crazy crazy expensive designing and building a normal passenger airliner at scale. We'll see if this company is able to do all that, as well as something new.
You sound like you're not very much fun at parties
You sound like your an absolute pain in the ass for anyone who has to be in the same fucking room as you.
You sound like you’re gonna get blocked.
I don't know about that. I can't say I automatically gravitate to the most popular people at the party. Instead I like talking to people on the sidelines or in the corner that maybe not be as popular. They too frequently have something to say that is worth hearing. I can't say it always works out.
Sometimes those people aren't popular because they don't know how to express themselves. Other times those people express themselves and its an overall negative result like lash out and insulting for some reason, like you did just now. I don't think I'm going to ask you how fun you are at parties. I hope your day gets better.
Sadly, physics makes a call. Planes aren't meant to be a party. Over a century of flight has figured out the core concept.
