What you don't seem to understand is that they aren't really expecting a

easier.

How can it be current and advanced at the same time? The changes that
are asked for by NASA/CAFE implie so many differences between what
exists and what would be that the end result would hardly look like a
172.

If that wasn't the case they wouldn't be handing out the money
to some guy in a 172.

The money has to go somewhere. Since no one entered anything better,
they gave it to the 172.

No it didn't. They could have easily said nothing meets the standards we
have set.



Think what they would give if someone actually did something different
than a 172.


So why didn't someone do so?
