Chit chat about this has been on the aviation sites for a while.
It has been seen in tests recently, but they've kept the lid on any details until now.
Some advance aerodynamics predict astonishing numbers, but the laminar flow necessary is easily tripped up by small discontinuities like door handles, antennas, even the small bump around window edges or imperfect skin contour.
Not a short-field craft. Will most likely need long runways.
I hope they can pull I off.
