Nobody wanted aeroplanes. But as soon as they become jet liners...yeah also most people don't want to ride them. Something about the inusual 600ph into the ground has everyone terrified.

    Getting from A to B is a universal problem, be it a hundred years ago or a bundred years from now. There is a want for not havin to sit on a ship for many days if your plane can cross the Atlantic in one day.

    But prop planes could fit 10-30 passengers. Flying was very much a luxory even with the advent of jets.

    So no, it wasn't a branding problem of calling it aeroplanes, but tickets being prohibitivly expensive.
