“That’s too bad. I’m sure a lot of effort went into the project.”
Yes, I agree. People put their lives into these projects - they typically take years from conception to fruition. It must be heartbreaking to see it all go wrong in the last mile, so to speak, although that is typically where the largest danger is, also.
In a way, that’s how I felt about the F22.
Decades of planning, the best aircraft of it’s kind by far, incredibly capable with cutting edge technology, and we cut the production way short.
Just when the cost of the unit prices was ready to fall due to all the overhead already having been spent, they cancelled it.
Frankly, it made me angry.
