The Aerospace indistry is a recurring idea in the book. The Skunk Works story is full of challenges, not only internal technical and financial problems with Skunk Works' projects but with dealing with the federal military-industrial bureaucracy. The aerospace industry faces several unique challenges: first, the projects it takes on are extraordinary expensive. They involve huge feats of innovations, completely new designs and enormous amounts of capital costs.
