LMFTFY:
Government/Army: We need 3 different planes for these 3 different requirements
Private corporations @ public trough: you could "save" money by building a single plane meeting all those requirements, and we'd also bring extra jobs to your geographical area. Oh, and plus there is this extra "lobbying" money you can have you if support this project.
Politician: Sounds like a good idea...
- levemi 10y agoThat's not how the F-35 was conceived or designed, not at all. It was a highly competitive contract with the requirements given to a few companies and they were given some amount of money to compete for the best design[1]. Your comment is nonsense.
