Some perhaps may be - but I believe many are not. First of all, you don't "test" aircraft over foreign soil. You don't hand your enemies your
best, cutting-edge equipment on a platter. Next, you don't test it over populated cities. For hours. There is a reason there are bases like Area
51.
I had a co-worker who was an officer in the Air Force. He had a plaque on his wall with a bit of black metal on it. It was an award given to him by
a buddy - it was part of the remains of a stealth bomber, from the test days at Area 51. Yes.. they do crash during testing. So no.. you would not
fly your giant craft over Ohio, or Arizona, or Texas, etc.
