We looked at the historical attempts that had been out there and realized that, despite the fact that we have a lot of modern innovations to draw on today that weren't available previously -- we have modern composite materials, we have aircraft engines that get good fuel economy and have better power-to-rate ratios than have ever been available, we have glass cockpit avionics that bring the information you need to fly directly to you in the cockpit -- but without fundamentally addressing the problem from a different perspective, we realized that we were going to be getting the same result that people had been getting for the last hundred years, which isn't where we want to be right now.
Pogledali smo među povijesne pokušaje koji postoje i shvatili da, unatoč činjenici da imamo mnogo modernih inovacija koje danas možemo prikazati, a da prije nisu bile dostupne -- imamo moderne mješavine materijala, imamo zrakoplovne motore koji imaju ekonomičnu potrošnju goriva i imaju bolje stope provizije no ikada prije, imamo staklenu avioelektroniku u pilotskim kabinama koje nam daju informacije koje nam trebaju za let direktno u pilotsku kabinu -- ali bez osnovnog pristupa problemu iz drugačije perspektive, shvatili smo da ćemo dobivati isti rezultat koji ljudi dobivaju posljednjih sto godina, a to nije ono gdje želimo trenutno biti.
