I did this once, a fuel estimation program for 747's, the degree of understanding of the problem required to create something that would pass review was off the scale compared to any other program that I've ever written. It is also the only time that the customer wanted to get it right rather than that they were looking at what it cost (because the savings would pay for the development many times over this was probably less of an issue anyway). I'd love to be able to always work like that.
