Boeing and Airbus, the new ‘super duopoly’

Interestingly, SpaceX is one of the very few companies that does rocket launches but not commercial or military aircraft. And they have recently released concept videos of Earth-to-Earth transport. How long before they make a real jump into commercial aviation?

I don't know if SpaceX will do aviation other than the long-haul Mach 20 BFR type, but Elon Musk has expressed interest in high speed electric aviation as well. If Tesla and/or SpaceX end up being too successful, he'll probably guide one of them to that space.

They have already announced this as an eventual goal.
