depends what you think of as cheap
 i doubt it. plus, the fact that it "failed" makes it less desirable. usually arms customers want proven designs. Lockheed Martin is exporting the JSF to Britian, I'm sure of that. |

QUOTE(CrackedRearView @ Jun 21 2005, 8:38 PM) You provide inventor examples... Bill Gates and Microsoft Co. pioneered everything up-to-date that accompanies a PC. Alexander Graham Bell founded Bell Telephone Company in 1877. However, innovation came with the cellular telephone, and look now. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile, and several other companies are vying for the crown in that market. It would make sense that these companies have a monopoly on the product because they pioneered it. Same goes for Boeing.  FYI -- Bill Gates and Microsoft did not pioneer everything with the PC; in fact, they pioneered very little of it. Microsoft/Gates aren't really pioneers, they're just excellent marketers of technology. A minor point, but one I felt necessary to make. As for Boeing, Boeing is in trouble, but the government is doing as much as they can (even if it isn't quite within their regulations  ) to keep Boeing afloat. Of course, this has resulted in a major trade dispute between the US and Europe, who are fighting on behalf of Boeing and Aerobus, respectively.
