Maybe to get permission for your flight plan when using an experimental vehicle you have to be able to show that the manufacturers of the major components have confidence it will be able to complete the proposed route safely?

Afaik both UK & French authorities gave permission for the flight to take place. It were Siemens that wanted to prevent it.
