It's hard to determine if this is LEMV or an earlier prototype. Anyone have a clue?
My guess is that the Army would be unwilling to do test of this nature on it's first flight.

No, that is undoubtedly the LEMV, and yes, they were conducting strenuous maneuverability tests(which the LEMV apparently passed with flying colors).
ReplyDeleteAfter the test, they're going to inspect it very thoroughly, then fly some more, and then do an endurance test.
Must have been a little nerve racking for the pilots. Maybe they were testing to see if the airships doesn't stall as advertised.
