Things I'd rather not see on a cockpit display: ☹

Testing the Boom XB-1 supersonic demonstrator. Take a look at the bottom display panel.

Apparently the backup-of-the-backup display was showing a faulty horizon, so they blanked it with tape, and the maintenance guys got creative. So not a problem, really.

 

Latest video of ongoing testing was quite interesting. Taking up up to Mach 0.8 and 22,500 ft, fastest and highest so far, seeing how it handles and how it copes with mechanically-induced flutter. Doing everything in small steps is repetitive, but necessary.
