Description of Driving Event:

Cost estimates for the project were based on the standard method based on aircraft weight. However, while the test vehicle was not full scale, it had an ensemble of technologies never flown before and had as many if not more components than are found on full size aircraft. Therefore, the cost estimates based on weight alone were significantly lower than the actual.
