You are all aware of the recent deployment over here to our sunny shores (my photos of the last lot which arrived last weekend below) en masse
If they can re open the production line, after several years, how much would it cost to say for avionics, airframe, materials / tooling inc. bare basics of the then manufacturing to be up to speed today and for tomorrow.
I have understanding of airframe maufatcure a (limited experience of working with aerospace composites / tooling mainly in support of the Sikorsky S-76 production line for S-76A/C/C+ plus carried out quality audit I.AW Part 21G/J) so can see the complexities of the manufacturing process even on the small scale we were.
If it happens, then great, but being mindful of a change of government after the elections so will the next politicians in power go for F-22 production line opening?
Cheers
