The saga of unleaded avgas has been long, expensive, and slightly ridiculous. It's not just FAA - not by itself, although regulatory capture is, of course, a frickin' plague. You had a big ol' mob of aerospace companies racing to lock in their engine designs for the next forever via mandated fuel specifications. This is the Golden Fleece in this industry: if you can get to write the next mandated spec, you can relax on your money bed for the rest of time. |
