Yes, there are more requirements than can all be met by a real aircraft, so the Army will have to evaluate each competitors performance and capability trade offs. Also, I doubt Raider-X can cruise at 205 knots... they only stated they think they can beat 205. Bet that’s a dash speed and not sustained MCP cruise speed.
