This initial ignition test did not last long, nor did it involve actual flight.
Just over ten minutes after it left the ground by more than ten meters, it landed under Tom's control, and the engine shut down.
Afterward, the Clones waiting nearby swarmed it, using various tools to dismantle it piece by piece, beginning to inspect the changes that had occurred in its various components during the process.
The engine system and ejection system were particularly important.
Thus, Tom saw that after only a dozen minutes of ejection, due to high temperature and high pressure, the engine components and ejector components had already undergone some unexpected changes.
"This won't do; further adjustments and optimizations are still needed."
A simple "optimization and adjustment", when put into practice, is an extremely complex, comprehensive project involving multiple disciplines.
