Correct.
Both of these countries are way overhyped. Down the line I have a feeling something much more simplistic will become an issue for China.

So cute they're still putting up the fiction that this is leading edge technology when the real black budget projects are traveling back and forth through time and between dimensions.

At least Boeing didn’t get the contract. They are barely getting by with their 767 tankers. An airframe they’ve been building for 40 years

The only things you can be sure of when the Air Force is involved is that this project will over promise, under deliver, be over budget, and behind schedule.

They’ll probably just let the JetZero outfit do the real development and then buy the company. After that they’ll delay the project on purpose and get more development money from the Air Force to barely tweak the plane and slap some Boeing stickers on the side.
It’s a damn shame what happened to that once great company. They’re being outclassed by nearly everyone else these days.

A believe another major MIC contractor is involved so hope this won’t be the case.
The Starliner contract by itself is head scratching. SpaceX been launching humans to the ISS for 3 years now and Boeing can’t even confidently pass an unmanned flight test yet. I’d hate to be on the docket for the upcoming manned test flight

What is that turd? Private military contractors have fricking propulsion UFO craft these days…. Rookies

They had canards because they designed the wings incorrectly and needed them for low speed lift. The cannards on the TU-144 fold in when no longer needed. It was also extremely loud.

Add two zeroes to the cost, triple timeline, and cut proposed capabilities by 80%.

Probably one of the 15 or so Biden family shell companies set up to launder the $20 million they got from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and China.

It would be a godsend if they could be more fuel efficient and carry more passengers along with larger, more comfortable seating. Of course the airlines will still cram everyone together uncomfortably to maximize profits because our airlines suck
