Jiji Press KOMAKI, Aichi (Jiji Press) — The Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency canceled the maiden flight on Wednesday of a prototype of the first domestically developed stealth aircraft, dubbed X-2, due to bad weather.

The flight was planned to take place from Aichi Prefecture’s Nagoya Airport in the town of Toyoyama to the Air Self-Defense Force’s Gifu Air Base in Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture.

“The aircraft has no problem, but we canceled the flight due to low-hanging clouds,” Takahiro Yoshida, a senior official for supervision of aircraft operations at the agency, said at the ASDF’s Komaki Air Base in Aichi Prefecture.
