I expect (not being an economist) that this argument could equally apply to old aircraft designs. Why design a new one using new technology, if the old design, using old technology will actually work out cheaper to run and build?

There might be quite a few old designs that could prove more economic to run commercially, which have already disappeared.

I can’t say much, but I believe there maybe a new webmaster on the TVOC site soon. Hopefully more information will be available when that decision has been made.

You’d think they’d make a smaller cigar lighter – wouldn’t you?
