Have the decency after so many decades to finally build a FULL British Jet.
I look at our industrial capability and it annoys me dearly to see our nations skills not utilised as they should be and instead squandered and thrown aside in favour of the purchase of American hardware or EU International projects. BAE Taranis UAV should develop into a sole, FULL British aircraft.
It is shameful that every time we have something great we throw it in the bin or sell it for peanuts. The Harrier comes to mind. The worlds only viable V/STOL jet until the F-35B... It was also our last full British jet which needs to change. We should NOT opt for the Anglo-Franco joint EU UAV program but develop on Taranis to create a beacon of British aviation engineering marvel. It can then be exported, capitalised on. Show what we can do. France dropped out of Typhoon so we can do the same.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
BAE is an private company and it is not responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
