  1. Well, yeah, that would be the case, but also not. Honestly, it would be the best case if it was exclusively Britain developing its all on its own and we could export it to the world as an exclusively British aircraft. We need to be able to do this stuff ourselves again. It’s humiliating that the project apparently ran into trouble and has now being developed internationally, let alone the fact that it won’t probably arrive until 2035, when the base platform will most likely be out of date (even though thaaaankfully the ‘prototype’ will be flying only in the UK within 5 years which is great at least), or they will have to spend billions most likely to update it again before going into mass production. Again, Hugely humiliating. Just goes to show how much bureaucracy has restrained creativity to the point that they have to follow specific industry, builders no matter what even if it kills them when independent skills, people who actually have a passion, for this would be more than willing to develop it in the UK in half the time for half the money, if they actually were willing to open up about designs and stop being so tightlipped about it. Understand security and all, but allowing bureaucracy to reach this level to the point that it costs billions, and will be massively drawn out for this result is not worth it. We need to keep it in Britain, and bring in individuals and developers have a passion for this rather than just restricting it two big-name industry companies.
