Very interesting.

There are two things that amaze me about aircraft.
1. Their ridiculous longevity (B-52, anyone?)
2. How long it takes to go from concept, to prototype to production.
With respect to #2, go back 80 years and look at the run-up to WWII. Was it (literally) decades for an idea to come to fruition?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
