Pesawat tempur murah meriah buatan Textron
Keuntungan pesawat ini di antaranya adalah harganya yang relatif murah. [REF]
Textron has estimated the Scorpion’s price at under $20 million (compared with about $60 million for a speedier and more sophisticated F-18 Hornet)
Selain harganya murah, ongkos operasionalnya juga murah [REF]:
But another key number is the cost for an hour of flight time, which Anderson estimates at about $3,000 an hour, compared with $15,000 or more for high-end fighters.
