Things are not the same today. A single plane model can take a year of work or more! Complex tasks such as changes to AI or flight model take many months of coding and testing. The industry reached this strange stage where the end result does not seem to match the amount of time that went into it. If you compare a late-year 1946 plane with a CoD aircraft, it’s hard to believe that one took a month and the other a year to make. Does it really look 12 times better? He was talking about the whole a/c model, not just the 3D model and a year of work could well mean a man-year with a number of people working in parallel on the different aspects. Man-Hours, Man-Weeks and Man-Years are common ways of expressing total work effort. I'm probably not the only person to find that 80% of the work takes 20% of the time while the last 20% of the work takes 80% of the time. Its called Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". It only takes one branch to foul up and it holds up everything else.
