Japan’s new fighter testbed was officially unveiled on January 28 and will make its first flight this month, officials said. Development of the X-2 has been led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, in what was previously known as the Advanced Technology Demonstrator-Experimental (ATD-X) program. The Japanese government’s Technical Research and Development Institute (TRDI) released images of the demonstrator 18 months ago, and organized the event at Komaki last week.
