I didn't want to make that issue so in your face, in case the thread went down that path. Problem is, its almost certainly a massive part of this bid.

Boeing might compete and never actually have a hope of winning regardless of the performance of their aircraft. Boeing might not compete and therefore would definitely not win.

I am actually genuinely interested in whether the Typhoon suits. I understand that it would be introducing a different 'ecosystem', but is that so terrible?
