People are kidding themselves here. Civil FFS’s whether they be Boeing, Airbus, Rotary or Business Jets all basically cost the same to build with the only delta being the aircraft parts and data (normally procured from the airframe OEM).

The Rotary and/or Business Jet training business has been very cleverly turned into a closed shop by CAE and FSI (and now Textron) by getting sole source agreements with the airframe OEMs for the data making other TDMs unable to build competitive platforms.

Hence the unbelievably high rates that are quoted within this thread.
