without it being years behind in delivery and billions in cost overruns. Investors probably see the F-47 program getting cancelled within a few years, like Boeings Navy A-12 program did. The A-12 program was solely a McDonnell Douglas sc--wed up program back in the early 1990's long before Boeing was d-mb enough to agreeing to merge with McD in 1998. I always felt that Phil Condit was smoking crack when he agreed with the merger. McDonnell Douglas royally sc--wed up their A-12 program, that they got absolutely nowhere near to building a plane when it was finally cancelled.

Whether they are ready or not, building that flying disaster will get pushed full steam ahead regardless of obvious red signs and repeated failures, it’s gonna be biblical.
Boeing is in trouble. However, F-47 is a flying prototype. The design and several prototypes are working. Now, Boeing needs to finish the prototype and to scale production. It will be challenging, but it will work. Boeing has enough of a good talent (not as much as before, but enough). People working for Boeing are among the smartest folks I have ever worked with.
All the talent at boeing that was able to pull them out of this death spiral left the building 5 years ago. What's left is people who's only talent is to rearrange the deck chairs on this titanic !!!
throwing good money after bad just like the refueling tanker
Uhhhhh, hello?
Boeing is a total dog sh1t company since planes are intended to, well, to fly.
The ones Boeing builds fall out of the sky too often.
