And of course we should have just built more f22s. And we need something to replace A10s. Why can't we just redesign new planes like the f22 and a10 using today

And of course we should have just built more f22s. And we need something to replace A10s. Why can't we just redesign new planes like the f22 and a10 using today's tech, repeating the excellent design elements, no need to make them that different than before - they should be relatively cheap, right?
- nradov 8y agoCertainly it would be possible to design new aircraft with new technology. But it would take 10+ years, meanwhile the existing fleet is literally falling apart from heavy use. And there's no reason to expect an alternative design would be significantly cheaper.
