> A new design won't be making any money within the first 10-15 years of its life, which means that only countries with very developed and advanced industrial bases, lots of money, and the desire for strategic airliner autonomy will invest in them And to add to that, the desire for strategic airliner autonomy tends to be inversely proportional to domestic companies' chances of non-trivial international sales. There will be a few airlines and lessors that passed on the Russian SSJ-100 out of longstanding concerns about Russian supply chains (even though it had an Italian marketing JV so you didn't necessarily have to deal with them directly) that will be patting themselves on the back for making the correct decision, and presumably the Russian state picked up the tab for all the losses Sukhoi made on the programme.
