Actually, they got complete dominance of the subsonic large transport category.
FP, I'm Intrigued. In what way did spending more on the cancelled SST than we spent on Concorde give them subsonic large transport dominance?
They got dominance by cancelling the SST (and a lot of other things contributed as well, of course). How much of Britain's rather limited talent (small country, not the greatest technical education programme) was tied up in making a marvel of technology with no commercial future? How much of Britain's extremely limited managerial talent was blinded by the glamour?
