Question of the Week: The Cost of ADS-B to You (Yes, You)

With the FAA asking all pilots to upgrade their avionics by 2020, we thought it would be a good time to ask AVweb readers what they’re willing to spend to prepare for the NextGen airspace. Plus: Do AVweb readers think it’s only a matter of time before Boeing and Airbus start cranking out VLJs? The results of last week’s “QOTW.”

PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, we asked whether it was inevitable that big-jet makers like Airbus and Boeing would enter the growing market for small- and medium-sized jets.

Despite strong rumors that it's only a matter of time, AVweb readers thought the big boys' entry into these markets may not be a foregone conclusion:  A full 50% of you said players like Boeing are far too busy building airliners to worry about little jets.
