Of course it's not fully loaded. Nowhere did it say anything like that!

It is to be demonstrated at an airshow.

Is that hard to understand?

And it DOES appear to be quite nimble.

No it's not. All airliners can do that. They just don't because the passengers in the cabin would get their eggs scrambled. That was the point.
