Taking off on what I assume is the first flight of the aircraft. It was used for research of STOL capabilities, using a new wing, engines and lift characteristics. The aircraft demonstrated its STOL performance by operating aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk without a need for catapult launch or landing arresting gear.
