Already moving on to engine relights at altitude, the M2 test team plans to take less time and use fewer test assets than is typical for similar bizjet test programs. Getting stuff to market fast and keeping test costs down makes good business sense, but only if the team can be darn sure that they will catch potential problems. A lot of folks belkieve that the concurrency approach used by the F-35 team is part of the reason for serious structural and software issues surfacing late in that program.
