Landing airplanes

Factories move airplanes in and out of "experimental"
airworthiness all the time. An aircraft that is used for
R&D (research and development) could be operated on a
Standard airworthiness certificate, but using an
Experimental certificate allows them to exceed gross weight,
CG limits or operate with uncertified systems, as part of
getting certification at higher weights. It gives a "free
hand" to the engineers and sales people.
