During a test flight (full thrust) reaching mach 1.8, the a/c went into a compressor stall and the thrust fell to 79-80%. After several attempts to increase engine power, the Pilot J.L. Hansen ejected. Cause: FOD (bolts) had damaged the compressor so it could not produce enough rpm to keep the a/c airborn.
