      Have to be. This is a Hail Mary project that was highly dubious when similar things were government funded 60 years ago.
      There’s nothing that’s going to change the laws of physics barring some absolutely insane breakthrough in energy density and materials strength. Going fast costs an insane amount of money.

    It is interesting to look at 6:38 and the angle of attack. This bird really wants to go and it appears like it is being held back. They have reached their ceiling limit and they are running tests, but have a very high angle at what is 'slow' speed. It will be great to see a flat angle at mach 2!

    I’ve never watched a test flight like this. I mean, I assume it is a test flight much like those done for so many of the other aircraft we take for granted throughout history. Until they were sure their designs performed properly, without significant quirks, they probably all did this…even going back to the old days of the first jets and first swept-wing jets…right? Just that now there is a lot more and better monitoring on the ground and in the cockpit…and the video resolution is so much better!
    This is really cool to see…like never before. I hope there will be more such videos.

For that one I was in the right seat writing down airspeeds - or trying to, given how badly the panel was shaking.

    This is so much more interesting than a music video that tells me nothing about the process. I deeply enjoyed all the comms traffic and the narrator explaining everything that's going on. Great video, exciting aircraft. Can't wait to see it go supersonic.
