After the first flight tests, the new airplane (if still intact) goes back to the manufacturer with a detailed report.

Since the airplane's basic flight characteristics are well understood by then, evaluation work is usually done at Wright-Patterson Field, Dayton, close to the great laboratories of the Engineering Division. The airplane is flown at all possible altitudes, loads, power outputs and rates of climb. It is strained...

Last week, after the hockey team was welcomed back to Prague (see cut), the government canceled its date to play the Racing-Club de France.
