>a large chunk of a new airplane price is the cost of certification

That seems rather odd. Is this because unlike cars, the cost of certification is spread out among much fewer models, or for some other reason?

The cost of certifying a new aircraft model is significantly higher than a car. It's like $25m for non-commercial aircraft? I forget the exact number but it's quite high.

It could be lower since this thing has only 1 passenger capacity
