Howard Hughes:
What does 20,000 feet give you?Jack Frye:Less turbulence.Howard Hughes:Right, because it's above the weather. Jack, we wanna fly *above* the weather. Only one percent of the American population has set foot on an airliner. Why? Because they're scared to death, Jack, and they should be. I mean, 7,000 feet is bumpy as shit. You know that. We build a plane that flies above the weather - we could get every man, woman, and child in this country to feel safe up there. An airplane with the ability to fly into the substratosphere across the country, across the world; now, that is the future
