Competing firms submit final bids for Brazil jet contract

Three competing firms submitted their final bids Friday for a coverted multi-billion-dollar contract to sell Brazil 36 high performance fighter aircraft, the Brazilian Air Force said.

The Rafale fighter, made by France's Dassault Systemes, was favored to win the competition with the Swedish-made Gripen and Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet to replace Brazil's aging fleet of 12 French-made Mirage jets,

The Brasilian government has openly said it is leaning toward the Rafale because France has offered to share technology with Brazil.

The technology transfer offer was repeated and confirmed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy in meetings with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, but the other two manufacturers were given an opportunity to improve their bids.
