well, that's unfortunate. Wonder if it's a temperature problem, burning out the communications gear.

No, this happened outside the environment.

 



On most planes the front doesn't fall off at all.

I wonder if they throttled up to 104%?

How come they can fly it around at subsonic speeds to test everything before the launch it in a rocket? Well another few million $$$ going bye bye.

No cellotape.  No cardboard.  No cardboard derivatives.  No paper.  No string.    No rubber.

I wouldn't fly at subsonic speeds.  It uses thrusters for control, I don't think it has any moving surfaces.

Maybe, though I think its more for conventional global strikes.



The whole point is to maneuver and avoid enemy missile intercepts.
