Interesting perspective! A good friend of mine is a supplier to Mitsubishi on the MRJ and other projects. I’m not comfortable sharing details but I can say that the excellence in engineering skill in the Nagoya area, with both Mitsubishi and Toyota and others having built on a long tradition of craftsmanship from that area, is very exciting to learn about. Did you know that it basically began with innovations in loom technologies around the turn of the last century?

On that note, the Toyota museum in Nagoya was the most amazing science/technology museum my wife and I have ever been to. We made a specific stop in Nagoya on our honeymoon to see it, and were not disappointed. The first half is an incredible tour of the history of textiles, with hundreds (literally) of working looms at all phases of development, and incredibly knowledgable staff. And that's all before you get to the equally-amazing car part! http://www.tcmit.org/english/ http://www.tcmit.org/english/
