Look at the proposed developments of the AW52. - The flying wing. The UK were streets ahead until the politicians sold us out.
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
This country does seem to be obsessed with quick, short-term profits.
That is a big problem, Lex. From my days in management, if you didn't deliver a return in 18 months, nobody wanted to know. Plenty of very good ideas were abandoned because of this silly rule!

It's been a blight on the UK for years.
It's what happens when you allow the bean counters to have too much power. Yes, financial control is important, but the obsession with quick returns and a lack of investment combined to help kill off the UK manufacturing industry.
In the 70s I was working with equipment dating from WW1, and we were one of the better-equipped parts of the aerospace industry.

What do you think of this ugly designed aircraft?

I quite like it.
There was one (much older and called a Guppy) at Bruntingthorpe last time I was there. IIRC, it's designed to carry wings for the Airbus? - Though I did see a documentary a few years back where the wings were being taken via water from the UK to Europe.
