Okay, so I guess it doesn’t fly in the same way a rocket doesn’t fly? Distinction without meaning in this case.

It doesn't fly in the same way I don't "fly" when I jump. You need to be on more than a ballistic trajectory.

It clearly didn’t follow a ballistic trajectory over the other vehicles.

uh. it doesn't fly as in it can't sustain flight...

How long does it have to be ”sustain” to be flying?
