Not only does the announcement take everyone in the global aviation industry by surprise, but the way in which this prototype has been designed could well send all manufacturers back to their homes. Indeed, according to Mr. Roper, the demonstrator was designed and manufactured in just one year, based on paradigms and approaches from modern digital engineering.
