Interesting. I thought it was well understood that simultaneously developing a new engine and a new airframe which is the only outlet for that engine makes life bloody hard. Either the development à engine is ready for the next test point and the test airframe ain't, or vice versa. Managing priorities for air time becomes a nightmare and the whole programme is usually down a tube.
Maybe Hill just see it as another case of challenging the industry mind-set. Good Luck to them.
