JSFfan,
Here are some numbers for the Eurofighter
Management of the Typhoon Project - National Audit Office
This is from the UK National Audit Office.
The Unit Price is
75% higher than the initial estimates.
In 1990, my posting officer told me I would be flying multi-role Typhoons by the year 2000. I laughed and left the RAF. It did not come into squadron service till 2006, and will not be fully multi-role till 2018.That's 180% wrong.
Go look at any other major aircraft and find me one that was In Service on time, fully capable and within budget.
