Request for Proposals: X-Plane

The Techno-Pharaoh andTjaty will be provided with two X-Planes ( a primary and a backup) each that meet the following requirements. All of the requirements are requirements that have existed for past aircraft or exist for the next generation of aircraft currently under development. Note that the structural modification and special engines of much greater than stock power make the VC-25 (specially configured Boeing 747-200Bs) so fast that on 9-11 Air Force 1 flew faster than any possible fighter jet escort in the US inventory. The huge plane is amazingly fast and nimble. Note that the nuclear powered space plane (the Rockwell Star-raker) was designed and worked and was amazing but Congress cut the funding and the Space Shuttle was designed and built instead. The space plane would have used vertical take off and landing to land next to factories and other locations and pick up all of its load and then fly into space, deliver the load, and return back to earth. The estimated research and development (R & D) costs are $40 billion, the estimated prototyping and testing costs are $10 billion, and the estimated cost per X-Plane US $3 billion - $5 billion. If we assume that each nation adopting the Elon Musk X-Plane One of the X-Planes will be provided to Egypt as partial payment for water rights and ceding of land so that Landstania can be connected to the Nile River and Red Sea and have a viable seaport on the Red Sea and a viable riverport on the Nile River. Elon Musk’s Space-X company will have the exclusive right to manufacture and sell the X-Plane to the US and other governments that meet US export requirements for use as their nation’s leader’s primary aircraft. If we assume each customer nation wants two of the aircraft (primary and backup) for their head of state and that there is approximately $2 billion in profit on each plane, then Elon Musk’s Space-X needs to make 12.5 sales. A pair sold to the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam, Brazil, Taiwan, Ukraine, Israel, Australia, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, Philippines, Finland, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and Jordan at those numbers should pay back the entire development costs and turn about $25 billion in profit. And that doesn’t even count the number that could be sold to the militaries of those and other nations for global space command and control of their military in any conflict.
