aviation. any insight into like revenue per aircraft we might achieve via collins?
my rough *** packet calls is that boeing and airbus roughly ship 1000 aircraft per year between then. the airlines would pick special so one can imagine any avionics add ons that collins pitch that utilise see tech wont penetrate this number fully. so are we looking at 4 figures per fitment, 5 figures, 6 figures? i can't see personally past 5 figures. a 737/a320 is roughly list price 100m but i guess these get discounted on volume so i reckon 7 figures is definitely out as that would be 1-2% of sale price. 6 figures would be top end for me and my realistically price low.mid 5 figures guess might develop into say 6mill usd based on 20k per fitment and 300 aircraft. i guess other factors that.need considering will be just commercial passenger flight jets, private jet market, freight jets and then military jets. i would imagine kit on flight deck must be replicated on simulators? would collins approach any military drone operatives, air traffic control or would that be product differentiation later on? would any data generated derive value for collins and see in a similar way to guardian monitoring??
similar revs to caterpillar in time or more? getting it right in aviation will lock down a lot of sales for a decent forward period.
this area could get super interesting but not for a decent while is my gut feel.
