I totally disagree. Northrop Grumman is a conglomerate where the acquired companies get a new name, access to almost unlimited IR&D funds, and keep their individual cultures. This can be bad when the culture of the orginal company is not that good, but in this case, it will be a good thing.

Rutan supposedly had access to all that when Grumman was a 40% owner but that means Rutan still had control of the company. Now, despite Grummans assertions that nothing will change at Scaled they hold the reins. I’m not convinced they will let Burt be Burt. Time will tell.
