So according to the Wikipedia page (i know but its unfortunately hard to find good info on this plane but as far as I can see it lines up) the boing rc-1 was considered more economically viable then a pipeline to Prudhoe Bay and the north Canada islands until the 1973 oil shock spiked prices. So my question is if the 1973 oil shock didn't happen (and it dosnt really mader why for this) and the boing rc-1 states construction, when would it be finished? Sense it is a big but very simple plane, I'm not sure how long it would take to even build one.
I'm sorta imaginings it like the an-225, 2 or 3 are built before the idea falls apart (manly that i doubt it can move a gallon of oil for less then a dollar, but boing was convinced they could) and are then use like the an-225 was, a small fleet of over sized bulk carriers, for stuff like the space shuttle and things like that.
