Nope. Just look at rockets. The larger the tank is, the heavier the tank is. And the larger the temperature difference, the thicker the walls have to be, because you need to put insulation in it. The fact it is 2.5x as energetic by weight gets submerged by the fact it is like 20x less dense by volume.

as i tweeted
Would raise production to 144 A320NEO/yr
Add in > 100/yr of C919
and some E2s
No space left for 73M

Biggest victim of tech war might be Boeing Having 30% of narrowbody market is huge hit on revenue MAX weakness vs A321+Losing Chinese market -> lower sales+greater discount vs NEO

yeah, they have FAL in Tianjin, Mobile, Hamburgh and Toulouse. Will be interesting to see if they make the Tianjin FAL more automated. From what i hear, Tianjin one is the least automated of the 4.
