I am comparing the way they speak with other Aerospace companies from many different nations (if they were to sell 5000+ units they would be considered to be something of a world leader).
I’m afraid they just come across as a little amateurish. I’m hoping it’s just that and not a bunch of chancers trying to swindle some juicy government investment.
Once again, please convince me I’m wrong and I would be as happy as the next man if they end up getting a decent contract out of it to build new jets.
