A prototype is very different than mass production and meeting all the requirements that go with it.

I am pretty sure from design to production is at least 5 years.

The hybrids designs started in 1994(?) when Clinton gave them free money to design them. These were ready for moving into production in 1999 and demonstrated in 2000. But then I am only posting these facts for what - the ninth time?
