Description: The test aircraft experienced a nozzle box failure in Nov 2004 which delayed testing. This effort repaired the affected systems and made additional vehicle improvements to increase hover performance and reliability: lightweight fuselage and wing, robust nozzle box and cascade mechanism. Testing resumed Jun 2005 with the goal of completing sustained controlled hover, in and out of ground effects.
