The next problem is in the business aircraft side--the market is slowing and lack of investment is hurting its competitive position. The 650 is well past replacement, the 350 does well, but the Global series is starting to get long in the tooth. The Vision upgrade was needed but didn't add performance, improvements await investment money. Investment that the Lear 85 sucked up, eliminating a performance upgrade for the Global and a new technology 605 replacement. And don't get started on the Lear program.
