And your "impression" is wrong. Exactly so. All experimental means is that the manufacturer, whoever that may be, didn't go through the process to certify the aircraft in one of the other catagories with the FAA. Yep. Newly developed aircraft that haven't yet been put into production, (hint: 777 Freighter, 787, other new types and derivatives) but are about to enter flight test, all fly as experimental aircraft during flight test. And only the wildly delusional and stupid believe that a company like, say, Boeing, is trying to "get around certain troublesome regulations." This is true for other aircraft manufacturers as well, particularly in the USA. Even completely certificated types (172/182) with gear (a-la the G1000 prototypes where the installed equipment doesn't meet the list on the god-knows-how-old TC) are splapped with the experimental label until the amended TC process is completed. |
