Finally the team aim to reduce costs and development time by partnering with non-aerospace companies such as Formula One teams
Hopefully they are carefull about which F1 teams they talk to- some F1 teams burn some serious money.
.....saving development costs ......'mix and match' airframes with 90% commonality
Hmmm, have I heard that one before? ....can't put my finger on it......
Seriously, like Wander, I wish them well. Perhaps a LIFT type aircraft is a good candidate for plug and play airframe with interchageable engines and wings, and a lean development process, is way overdue, but I always wonder if these "better, faster, cheaper" start ups can ever deliver, or be given the chance to try?
I would like to see more fly offs, and some start ups given a chance. More money up front, but could lead to savings down the line.
