Gar170... old news. We already knew all that.
That was 2 months ago, that they "rolled out a completed aircraft"... complete with engines that STILL haven't been run-up in flight... not on the C-130 test-bed and certainly not on the
PR-display they rolled out with such fan-fare.
And it looks likely that that
PR display model will continue gathering dust "well into '09"... more than half a year after the so-called "first complete aircraft" was shown off.
Not due to "scheduled testing", though I expect that statement from the
PR word-twisters any day now, but due to not getting the engine controls sorted out.
And what if, as does sometimes still happen in this day of "computer simulations are better than test flights", they find that something (airflow wakes/turbulence due to prop design, engine intake airflow at speed, etc) isn't like they thought it would be, and they have to modify something?
I think their great fanfare event was well premature.
