So this thing already has at least 20 firm orders. The company has done extensive wind tunnel testing so they know their shit, and hope to get their prototype flying by 2019 with deliveries beginning in 2022. Airbus has also joined the development effort.
The King of Qatar has announced his full intent to buy one, and Trump will probably supplement his 757 with one as well.
Even with all this, is the project doomed to fail? I have such high hopes for this it would make me cry ;_;.
Surely they'll build at least the prototype.
