Airplanes are ridiculously complex machines. They’re comprised of millions of highly specialized components that all must work in harmony, and they take years to design, develop, and test.

While this sounds like a lot, it actually pales in comparison to the ridiculously high cost of some of the first 787’s that were ever built.
