Now, however, instead of a profit, the EMD contract would appear to be leaving Boeing with a USD1 billion deficit. The USAF’s fixed-price contract with Boeing stipulates a ceiling price of USD4.9 billion for EMD, and government officials estimate the company’s total EMD cost will be USD5.9 billion.

En bref Boeing qui a vendu à prix fixe, va perdre un milliard de dollars sur un projet qui s‘annonçait lucratif.
