Check this clip out of the initial flight and you can clearly see something that looks like a piece of rope and a little ball trailing off the top of the tail. Somebody told me pilots refer to that debris as FOD (Foreign Object Damage) but apparently it got stuck on the tail and the airplane took off before anybody could get it.You are kidding, right? I'm way too goddamned tired to try to determine if this is sarcasm. It's pretty clearly a small ballute there to illustrate the vortices coming off the top of the tail. As the aircraft goes through testing they'll also be placed on the wingtips. |
