As indicated, the Per Unit Flyaway Cost (Flyaway Cost) of SM-28 Turbofan Machete aircraft will be approximately $25,000,000 (twenty-five million) United States Dollars (USD), depending upon specific model and configuration.
These ROM, approximate Flyaway Costs apply to one (1) basic Turbofan Machete platform (Stavatti Model 28 S or T ) of Standard Weapon System Configuration (SWSC). In an effort to simplify the marketing and distribution of the Machete weapon system worldwide, Stavatti has developed the SWSC. The SM-28 SWSC represents a common SM-28 configuration which is readily suitable for mass production and expedient delivery to the customer. Stavatti customers may purchase SM-28 SWSC aircraft at a specified flyaway cost plus applicable duties and export/delivery expenses.
SM-28 SWSCs are specified within the SM-28 Configuration Control Statement (CCS) document as issued by Stavatti Aerospace Ltd for specific Machete models as appropriately configured for specific domestic and allied customers.
