These tests, among other data, validated a date of 250,000ypb for the Hueyatlaco artifacts.

But Congress again defied the Defense Department, proclaiming the aircraft to be a potential technological wonder before tests had validated that claim.

In addition to other objectives, these tests validated motor performance at extreme temperatures.

This was typical of what the test showed over time and validated the idea that buying construction in volume would lower the price.

The tests validated the design, materials and manufacturing processes used in the nozzle.

Later, broader tests for things like PCB's and dioxins largely validated the statement of air safety, the report said.

The test validated new block-4 versions designed to improve discriminating capabilities of the Arrow 2 interceptor.

The test validated the system's ability to track an airborne target and measure and compensate for atmospheric distortion.

The test validated the weapon's guidance modes, height-of-burst sensor, electronic safe and arm device, and multi-effects warhead.

These tests successfully demonstrated the air intake operation and validated the modelled aerodynamic characteristics, confirming the configuration for the first flight trials.
