That’s one hell of a price. If you take out a reasonable percentage for the simulators and ground equipment etc, I make that about $16-18M per aircraft, of which about $4M is for the F404 engine. No wonder LM and the Koreans are saying they couldn’t get near the price.

Cant help thinking Boeing expect to lose a lot of money on the deal, both in the hope of substantial overseas sales and as the price of keeping the FJ design teams together (along with Saab of course).
