    Ah well. I’m sure all those millions of school children will be happy to go without lunch for a few months to pay for a new one.

          Raytheon said they can increase production rates to meet the new demand by changing the distribution in components.

          One model is laser-focused on payload and guidance without the uneccessary extravagance of engine or fuselage, Type B is designed for complimentary tactical versatility with engine and fuselage but avoiding the burdensome payload or guidance. Additional models are coming next quarter.

          Thanks to these and other advanced enovashuns ™, Raytheon reports 100% production increases and 50% weight savings.

          Naturally this will all be offset by dynamic surge pricing, another Raytheon enovashun ™, so the units will be priced somewhere between $250 million USD and California.
