Speaking at a roundtable ahead of the Farnborough Air Show, Pope underscored that aggressive scaling remains secondary to rigorous risk assessments and the refinement of safety management systems. The company intends to treat the current 47-plane target as a baseline for reliability before initiating any further acceleration.
"Once we get to 47, we'll go to 52, and then we'll just keep studying that," Pope stated, framing the ramp-up as a measured evolution rather than a sprint. This cautious trajectory marks a significant shift for the manufacturer as it navigates the dual pressures of intense order demand and heightened oversight of its assembly processes.
