Defiant can expect to hit 200 knots within six months after initial flight
-Ken Eland 10/09/18
The Defiant is back in the air, reaching speeds of 20 knots on its fourth test flight. The goal is that Defiant will hit triple digit speeds by the end of this year. It should reach the Army-mandated minimum speed of 230 knots by the end of March if we have no other significant things we learn along the way
-Ken Eland 10/15/19
The aircraft should reach maximum speed capability of roughly 250 knots within the next few months
-Bill Fell 2/20/20
The program will need a few more months to reach maximum speed, whatever that might be
