Exactly. Currently, from statista, there are relatively 24,000 - 25,000 commercial planes. Speed and efficiency could dramatically decrease aeronautical costs due to delays due to deicing.

Cost to deicing per application from a private jet to a commercial airliner like a 747 can cost anywhere from: $1500 - $50,000 per application depending on how many gallons must be purchased.

That's a lot of money. Maybe this product also dramatically decreases costs on the airlines to purchase this stuff. Lots of cost savings potentially.

Time will tell. More R & D must be done. Will be interesting.
