But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

And it disapeared not long after it launched, same as the HTV-1 launched in April.

It might be the U.S military playing games with the Chinese. As in giving them something to think about, if there's something above them but can't detect.

Or it may just be that Lokheed Martin screwed up, twice.
