Ever hear the saying "quality, not quantity"?
I can think of a few low production, hand built, high dollar cars that
could be built quickly and for a lot less $ with savings passed to the
buyer causing the market to respond, but it seems they prefer not to
do that. Do you think maybe Ratheon wasn't interested in the
mass-production mindset? Do you think they may feel there are
individuals out there that would want "Hawker like" quality in a
single or twin recip?

I would like to agree with you on this but at this point in time its all
about money in any big corporation.

Many have commented that their planes are great, but the price is to high.
The implication is that they could lower their price, sell more planes,

still make a profit.

Okay, why is their price so high compared to other manufacturers? The
technology is stable, the price of raw materials has to be equal to the
cost
for other manufacturers, labor costs have to be near that of other
manufacturers, and insurance costs have to be near that of other
manufacturers. So, what makes their price so high?
