How many F-22’s could we have for the BILLION dollars spent on clunker automobiles?
About 20.
Actually, if only one more plane were ordered over the 187, costs falls to $200plus million, if all 750 were ordered cost per plane would fall to $90 million, if the plane was exported to Austrailia, Japan and Israel, cost goes below $70 million per.
Current number cost per, includes all R&D and associated development costs.
So the short answer to “how many planes from the THREE billion spent on cash for clunkers” depends on how many planes are ordered.
