“The power gap was caused by flawed design estimates based on the average power demand over several seconds”, says J D McFarlan, air vehicle integrated product team leader. “We’ll be billing this “cost overrun” to the various governments involved in the contract, over time, and hope to be greatly rewarded for our stupidity.”
