WITP research works like that:
Research factories work roughly the same as "production" factories, ie a 100-point factories produces 100 airframes a month and uses the same amount of HI, and maybe of engines (?), as a "real" factory, but didn't produce any aircraft.
But each time 100 "research airframes" are produced, there is a roll to see if the release date of the AC is advanced of one month. The probablity this roll succeeds depends heavily from the dealy until the current release date: chances are almost nil one year before the planned release, and will then increase.
What I usually do is to halt at start of the game all research factories and to turn repair off for them. Then if I want to research a given type, my objective will be to have a "production" of 100 roughly 6 months before the normal release date. Usually the result is to have the release date advanced of one or two months. To have this production, depending of the number of factories involved, I set repair and production on 9 or 10 months before the normal release date.
