One of the problems in trying to plan this is that the flight items needed for the flights change, making it very hard to plan the 'production' of item.  Maybe 500 microcircuits to start...

I don't think it's possible to try to fly more than one type of heli at a time, the supply chain doesn't work fast enough.

Why does the rescourse base produce items at the same time and the others sequentially?

typical Crossbill flight needs: landing skip, 5 wind cones and 3 shield markers

Skid (takes 18 minutes) needs 2 bearings at 18 minutes each. (I've ignored the small items as their time is irrelevant)

Wind cone (takes 18 minutes) is 2 parachutes (each takes 11 minutes )

Shield marker (takes 22 minutes) is 4 cones (, a swivel bearing (8 minutes) and a drive

So minimum of 56 minutes production time in the high tech plant and about 90 minutes in the mechanical plant for one flight lasting between 1hr30 and 3hr00.

So total flight times are 1470 hours, plus repeats to finish the buildings.....  If you manage to fly for 12 hours a day then it'll only take 122 days. (oh that's plus building up enough supplies to do it)...
