Always amazes me at how long the time is from concept to testing to production.
Looking at aircraft from the 1930s and 1940s, it seems like it was only months.
B17 idea was floated in August 1934, and the first prototype flew 10 months later. Production started about 6 months after that.

Brings up a question...Will general passenger aviation eventually go to a lifting body design?
