Aircraft Engine Contracts

[Eric.B]

Do these values have to be close to each other or are there certain engine points that needs to be maxed (dependability?)

The better the ratings the more likely your bid is to be selected. So having higher dependability, etc, would not hurt your chances.

Or can't offer price be xx% higher than production price?

Only if you have to submit a bid price.

I mean what's the point in constantly researching and producing engines for your research team to get better parts and techniques if you can't use them in your advance like "Hey look... you need that big of an engine with xx horsepower... through all my researchs i am able to make it that small and powerful (and cheap for me)... give me your monies pls"

Looking forward to your replies

You don't have to constantly design new engines. We take the average made within the last 5 years. The only reason you'd want to design a bunch of engines is to compensate for any poor engines you designed in the last 5 years.
