The point is that you're building a vehicle that (I assume) will produce far more pollution (CO2 and otherwise) per passenger mile than existing aircraft. Is that an ethical thing to do at this point in time?

This is a good question to ask. The answer is obviously “no,” but it would be interesting to see an ethical argument for designing this.

Is it ethical to raise consumption with a raise of your salary? Is it ethical to give the raise to these employees?

It looks like the answer should be the same to this and your question.
