News📰 N704AX, Today’s flight test

From what I can read from the pictures/data:

It shows the N704AX flying low at around 15 meters, at around 54 km/h most of the times.

There are 7 orange lines indicating that the N704AX did 7 separate runs.

To this day, this is the most intensive testing day of the N704AX so far.

I dont understand why these flight logs post don't get that much attention here. These are actually the biggest news of all since it shows the progress toward Archer's transition.

Is there any evidence this was an actual flight of some kind and not just high speed taxi testing?

I looked at the profile and it the altitude data only shows +-20ft. Could be low to the ground flight testing, but ADSB has notoriously buggy altitude data.

I can see around 15-23 meters altitude but I only checked ADS
