What I meant is, that it would reduce the calculation errors by using the same system ( if it's imperial or metric doesn't matter at that point.)

Cheaper production: I'm sure you've heard of a place called USA and their massive industrial production (which is also convenient to buy cos we kick ass at exchange rate atm)
But what you also have to pay is transportation. And it's cheaper to by from close than from far away when you have rising fuel costs. And even the US produce or let produce more and more in China.

Precision measurement is called micrometric for a reason.. they're already done in mm and subunits.
I learned something new to me, thanks.

Your points are not valid I'm afraid (hey look at me defending the imperial system! Where are all the "Stern is anti-British" whiners?! )
In aircraft production and flying procedures they will keep the imperial system as a standart, because most of them are build in imperial.
And I never said that you have to change all to metric.

But global standard is International System of Units which bases on metric.
