Edit Reason: Added point 5.

Im not realy sure how I feel about each of the ideas as I had't had chance to think about the effects fully but just wondered from a technical standpoint if/how any of the following could be looked into:
1. Could it be possible to store aircraft? As in, if all orders have been filled could the system then add to a pool of aircraft which would be available for immediate delivery?
2. If so, could the system begin to automatically increase and decrease delivery rate, doesn't have to be a complicated system, if pool>x -> production-1. And if orders>y -> production+1.
3. Can the system except floating point numbers for the delivery rate (as in 0.5 per day?) I do agree with you that this is what needs tweaking the most, would it be practical to add an extra field to each aircraft for this, and does anyone have any idea how easy it would be to find real world data and how frequently this changes? I do think some sort of dynamic system like above would be better as it would just deal with changes as the amount of players increase. If not to deal with this would it be possible to find how often real world aircraft role off the production line and divide this by 5,000 (Approximate number of airline with ITA codes) and then in order to work out the production per day have the game multiply this number by the amount of in game airlines.
4. Could anything be done with the delivery destination to effect the time? As in, the aircraft is built in x (Settle for Boeing ect.) and then has to be flown the to delivery destination, which for long range aircraft this would probably have minimal effect, but could be interesting for regional aircraft.
5. Also, I do think the system should apply to leased aircraft (alough I agree that used aircraft should arrive instantly), they have been built by the manufacturer, then why no wait. Also, assuming it is possible to buy the aircraft off the lessor this makes it possible to skip the wait time by leasing an aircraft and imidatly buying it off the lessor.
6. Is payment taken at ordering or delivery (or some mixture)?
