Is it true that an experimental aircraft can not be instrument certified by
the FAA?

Many experimental aircraft can be flown under an instrument flight plan when
properly equipped.

New jets undergoing initial certification flights are experimental
aircraft. I assume they operate under IFR.

There was a NOVA a bunch of years back on the development of the 777.
It looked kind of wierd to see an airliner with the same "EXPERIMENTAL"
sticker pasted over the door that would you see on a contraption some
guy built in his garage.
