Just be glad the managers at Boeing did not win - they don’t even know how to design a commercial airplane.
At least the Lockheed plane is somewhat pleasant to look at, they would have had to keep the Boeing plane in hangars to avoid stampedes.
Please I saw the documentary on the x plane between boeing and lockheed martin.
Boeing changed their design close to the end to be far better than their previous entry and the only reason lockheed won it was because they were going to go under without this contract. they kept them alive awarding the plane to them because boeing had commercial aircraft they were making money on. lockheed didn’t.
Old former McDonald Douglas in St. Louis could have built a better one. Screwed by politics. And did I hear correctly somewhere that we can’t even build an F22 anymore as the factory modules were intentionally destroyed? Also heard leaks and espionage has exposed too much of its tech to china to continue it?
