From another article lifted from the SB press release:
“This monumental flight further proves the maturity of the DEFIANT design and that it is ready to support the Army’s future long-range assault missions,” said Mark Cherry, Boeing Vice President and General Manager of Vertical Lift. “Just as SB>1 DEFIANT flew safely over multiple states from Florida to Tennessee, DEFIANT X will safely fly and meet all of our customer’s objectives.”
So they are proud that it was able to fly 700 nautical miles with only two stops/three loads of fuel and not kill anybody. Kind of like aviation records broken in 1910.
Another quote bragged they never got over 50% torque. Translation: May not have made it if we pulled more than 50% torque. This may give us a clue on how screwed up the drive system is.
