That’s not as successful as you think it is actually. It’s done pretty well for itself, but one of the principle nations involved in the design (ie, those bastard French) dropped out mid-programme, taking the designs with them and creating their own plane based on the Typhoon. The Rafale, I believe.

But still, I really think the language thing is an enourmous barrier. It’s hard enough to know what to do in combat, let alone with your troops barely understanding what you’re saying.

english would have to be utilized. every comercial pilot has to know english. it’s the language of commerce. but because of national pride it will not be used. once europe is ready to accept the fact that english is the most logical choice, then they might be ready for a united army.
