The cost to design and develop a long‐distance commercial aircraft is measured in the billions of dollars. The life expectancy of the planes is measured in decades, and a project manager could spend an entire career on just one aircraft. This part tabulates the three most recent aircraft in the long‐ and medium‐distance marketplace, including Boeing 777, Boeing 787 planes and Airbus A380 airplane. Aircraft manufacturers have been pressured to design new planes with more fuel‐efficient engines, more advanced technologies, and customer expectations of more amenities. But as expected, with any new technologies come risks, especially safety risks. Safety risks cannot always be identified through simulation and ground testing. Only through the actual use of the commercial aircraft can safety issues be addressed and resolved. For the project managers, safety could very well be the most important constraint on their projects.
