Well that would depend on when during the development process you determined the cannon you had allocated space for and development effort on was "too expensive". The conclusion you actually come to with the RAF Typhoon's is that the RAF did not have an alternative "cheaper" weapon that would fit in the space formerly occupied by the BK27 without any airframe development effort and associated increased cost. |
