you are: ADVANTAGES of INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
It is considered to be that joint programs in the space industry differ especially high rates ' quality inflations ', and for this reason their initial appeal threatens to turn back in practice by substantial damages. research spent in 1980 by the French military-technical experts, denies this thesis. The rise in prices for fighters ' the Mirage-shv ' and ' Mi-razh-111E ' the French manufacture considerably exceeded in 70th years a similar indicator for anglofrantsuzskogo a fighter ' the Jaguar '; the prices for the English-French helicopters ' the Gazelle ' and ' the Puma ' also grew more slowly, than the prices on comparable with them French ' Aluet-3 ' and ' Sjuper-Frelon '. These conclusions prove to be true also other data. in particular, at program performance ' the Tornado ' actual expenses on research and development for 1968-1976 have exceeded initial estimations in 1,4 times (in real terms); the price of unit of a batch production for nine years (with 1973 on 1981) Has increased only on 27%. This data contrasts with the standard opinion that the program ' the Tornado ' has practically got out of hand partners in financial aspect. the predecessor blocked by London ' the Tornado ' plane TSR-2 (English working out) for first five years of performance of research and development (1959-1964) has exceeded the forecast of expenses in 2,8 times, as was a principal cause of refusal of Great Britain from national frameworks of construction of a new warplane.
The Important factor of efficiency of performance of the space program are terms of performance of a cycle of research and development, including pre-series (trial) manufacture.
