Japanese supersonic jet test in Australia postponed until Monday
CANBERRA -- Japan's space agency has been forced to postpone a test flight of a supersonic jet prototype for a third day because of windy conditions in the central Australian Outback, a spokesman said Saturday.The unmanned flight of the SST, or supersonic transport, at the Woomera rocket range in the remote north of South Australia state has been rescheduled to 7 a.m. Monday (2030 GMT Sunday), said Kenichi Saito, a spokesman for Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
