[quote]Tight time schedule for aircraft bid

The producer of the US Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), Lokcheed Martin, will not be able to meet the deadline for bidding for the delivery of new jet fighters for Norway, Klassekampen reports.

The producers of the Swedish aircraft Gripen  say they will be able to put forward a complete bid by the deadline in two weeks time. The European producers of the jet fighter Eurofighter has earlier withdrawn from the competition, saying they feel the JSF has been favoured all along. Aftenposten quotes a letter from the Eurofighter manufacturers, in which it states:

- The Eurofighter consortium continues to feel ill at ease with the current process, and has accordingly concluded that it should suspend its involvement in Norway's combat aircraft programme.

On Saturday Aftenposten reported that the producers of Swedish Gripen would be able to deliver the aircraft at half the cost of the US made JSF. Norway plans to spend between 70 and 140 billion on new combat aircraft.
