Crashed X-51A Test Results Released

cylonlover writes "The United States Air Force (USAF) has released the results of last August's third test of the X-51a Waverider, which resulted in the crash of the unmanned scramjet demonstrator. At a press teleconference featuring the Program Manager for Air Force Research Laboratory, Charles Brink, it was confirmed that a malfunctioning fin was the cause of the crash. However, engineers are confident of correcting the fault in time for the fourth test flight scheduled for (Northern Hemisphere) late spring or early summer of next year."

    Not enough money poured into it. Just a bit more corporate welfare is all that's needed.

    Now let's all vote for Mitt Romney so we can have enough money to go around.

    It'll work fine.

    Whereas if Obama is re-elected, we'll need to see about paper airplanes.

    So the question you have to ask yourself is, why do liberals hate America?

      Liberals started loving the government on January 20, 2009, didn't you get the memo?
