This is where my interest has migrated to over the years (is it embarrassing to say decades?).It's easy to think up engine swaps for existing planes, or like the prototype that flew fast but trying to find a reason for X or Y plane to enter service is so much more challenging. Budgets, foreign exchange reserves, industry, political objectives, organisational inertia/agility, details within requirements all play a huge role in what enters service, I think far more than details like flyaway cost and broad brush performance figures. I enjoy the challenge.
