Thanks for that good info! Were the flaps the primary test? Maybe the more mature engines weren’t risked due to flap uncertainties?
THe Flaps are Freaking amazing. The Power they must have is astronomical.
Its like folding & unfolding an airliner wing in flight.
Yes. The aspect that was the primary point of interest was the flaps controlling the ship as it guided the ship during descent and then oriented for the ship for a landing on the pad. That portion performed extremely well. The only failure was two early s/n engines.
