sorry to keep you waiting....but I have some other more important things to do as well.......
1)its all messed up....plz be more clear to explain what you want to say
2) well after reading 1st two paragraphs. Pardon me for not being able to define economies of scale for you. Well I will explain it
or for your convenience here is a diagram as well
3) A person with normal mathematics would know that Avg per Year=Total Production/Number of Years now if you had paid attention to the statement of Sukhoi Director
A very gross estimate is 1000/40= 25 AC per year
4-Waooooow 6th gen????
5- If you would have cared to have a close look at the sources of report...they are from Russian Ministry.....and btw I have not performed any regression analysis, these are graphical results and regression analysis is used for relationship determination and estimation you're funny....ok well I have given you my interpretation if you can bring something against this then...I would agree with you....But by just commenting and commenting and commenting.
and lastly
should I consider it a sign of incompetence???
Well first things first...
1) You didnt comment on the economies of scope so I guess you have lost that argument
2) The graph you have given doesnt apply in every circumstances esp where the fixed cost of producing an aircraft will be much higher than the limits shown in the graph.
The definition of economies of scale wont change but the context with which it is looked at is different.
3) Invalid as 25 isnt the right number.. We should look at a chart where the production starts at 5-10 a year and then scales up to 30-35 and stays there.
What about the increased effenciencies because of the labor becoming more skilled over a period of time?
4) Well if I am producing a specific radar.. I can fit them on mig-35 .. If I am producing an engine for PAKFA.. I maybe able to fit on Su-35..There is a lot of scope of the same parts being used in a lower or equivalent generation of aircrafts.. You dont have to go for 6th gen..
5) Give me a piece of evidence where Su cheif says that they need to produce atleast X number of aircrafts to make it economically possible ( and that X is beyond the numbers to be produced for Russia and India)
6. I am as incompetent as you are competent. Got the drift?
