Video is unsupported .... And can you explain what it actually mean ? LUH supposed to be ready by 2015 isn't it ? Then how we have luh ground tests

 

[Whiplash]

Ground tests involve firing up the engine without the aircraft taking off to measure various parameters like frame vibration.
What I'd like to know is whether the Ground test vehicle is also going to be the first prototype? Or is it meant strictly for ground tests only?

If it our full prototype or mockup ? Looks incomplete . just saw it's picture ... by the way things are moving forward for sure

Likely a file picture of the mockup, I've seen this picture before.
