What is the breakdown between the following?:
Cost of sensors (and avionics)
Cost of pilot training
Costs of development
vs.
Cost of a second engine
Fuel costs from operating a larger airplane
If the costs of the former are more than half the costs of the latter, then a larger platform will make sense... in fact, this is even the case if we compare the costs of a medium fighter and a heavy fighter...
