Build Your Own Fighter Jet!

Have you ever thought about your own defence system? Probably not, but if you were a billionaire what measures would you go to in defending your wealth. Well you could consider building your own fighter jet.

Where would you begin, first you will need some wheels to move the thing to the runway, add a couple of wings, a jet engines or two, some ammunition of course and some sticky back plastic and hey presto you have your very own fighter jet. Or maybe it’s a little more complicated then that.

Although this does raise a serious question, where would you begin when building a machine of advanced technological ability? These were questions in my head when I recently went to the Shoreham Air Show. Wheels, wings, jet engines and ammunition are the typical components involved, but who supplies the components to build the larger components.

I did a bit of research on the web and was surprised to find quite a few companies that supplied electrical components to private businesses and government Aerospace, tanks, ships and submarines. One company that I found, Aerco supply hundreds and thousands of parts, although you would need to know what you were buying. I don’t think I could tell the difference between a 030-8587-000, 2Z84911C, 5940-99-114-7771 or a 789-1471, or what they are for.

If you are looking to build you first defense system for your own private island, unless you know or have the people that know what there doing then you will probably be best buying in.
