Discussions on this page often lead to previous arguments being restated, especially about the status of the recent test flights. Please read recent comments, look in the archives, and review the FAQ before commenting on that topic.

Restarting a debate that has already been settled constitutes disruptive editing, tendentious editing, and "asking the other parent", unless consensus changes.

This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
