Imagine that the communist party leader in your country envisioned a plan to give out free two-seater airplanes to every family. Your mission is to come up with a cost-effective design whose manufacturing process is optimized for large-scale production.Performance-wise, the aircraft should be similar to a modern day LSA.

There is no limit to setup cost. You could acquire any machineries and toolings for free initially. However, cost per aircraft should be kept at absolutely minimum.

The manufacturing process should be largely automated - no slave labor allowed.

Could we see a $15,000 aircraft being made this way?
