apan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans soon to resume flight tests of a remote-controlled scaled experimental airplane in its quest to develop a next-generation supersonic transport. The flight trial of the scaled experimental supersonic transport (SST) has a planned window of September 15 to October 15, but the agency said an “anomaly encountered with the aircraft’s signal processor during ground testing on August 22” precluded any tests until at least September 29.
