6,942 CooperFilms001  1.6 years ago

The Model 55X’s airframe has been fixed. According to GlideLite, the airframe dipped down around 2 inches. It was eventually decided to be set on an elevated platform with 2 hydraulically powered pistons on 2 temporarily reinforced sections in the front and back, where it would eventually straighten out.

The maintenance workers are currently working on replacing the fuselage around the bent areas

The Model 55X should be in the air again within 2 days or so

The photos that were taken of the bent airframe are currently classified until further notice
