Okay you speak some very valid points but however something remains. Let's talk about this from an economical point of view. Making a plane takes billions more Billions than those spent on the F-15 I love how some people say "You could have only spent 5 Billion to build an industry and saved the rest on Education" I Laugh so hard because all I can say is look how much the F-35 is costing how much the F-22 cost?? How much the Pak-FA and J-20 cost and that is just research. Who is going to keep our lines open or should we make the planes and then distribute them as charity?? Can you guarantee me that Muslims countries will buy??Can you guarantee me that Muslims countries would mot leave you with a weaker plane on your own and go for the much better Russian and American?? People just looooove to talk and talk and talk don't they??
You made some good points but allow me to disagree slightly. It would cost a little high at first because during research, you can not predict the outcome at all at first. Anything could happen. You may obtain the right answer very soon or it may take you dozens of years (just two extreme cases).
That is why I suggested that Gulf Arabs can play with/tinker with engines/avionics, etc in the aircrafts in your current inventory. You are right, other Muslim countries may backstab. There is no guarantee they will buy the planes designed for Muslims. That is why it would be wise to spend money on research and development, invite Muslim technicians, researchers, engineers from Egypt, Algeria, Malaysia, and elsewhere, and provide them with citizenship if needed. Since they are Muslims and most are Arabs, there would be very little problems with adding them to the country's population.
Now, even if other Muslim countries do not buy your aircraft, all Gulf Arabs combined can spend 50 or 60 billion US$ (let's say 200 billion saudi riyals ) over 6 or 8 years on developing your own Muslim designed plane. This plane can then be further developed to built next generation planes, and the costs for development in the next generation would be likely to be less. Egypt developed its Helwan-300 plane many years ago. But costs were a problem. You see, once all the technicians, engineers, politicians, money pours in, the Muslims have everything needed to build, design and produce world class fighter planes in 6 to 8 years, I hope.
If the Gulf Arabs then order, let's say 300 of these Muslim designed and built fighter aircrafts at first stage, it would be great for your own industry. If other Muslim countries join you, even better. If not, there is no loss. In the next stage, you can order more planes. Remember, Americans or Britons charge you/Gulf Arabs way more than any other buyer in the world because they know your kings have a lot of cash. And remember that Muslim engineers, technicians, from less developed countries but with a lot of scientists and researchers can be paid lower than Western salaries but higher salaries than their own countries. This means your aircraft can be developed at much lower costs than the Western planes.
I am just suggesting many possibilities to show how this project can be completed and how it can be successful if only all the six Gulf Arab countries (who have joint defense treaties) agree on the project. There is no need for other Muslim purchasers but if other Muslim countries buy the planes, that would be welcome.
