JM-X57 electric aircraft cruise motor. This experimental motor is used to power NASA's X-57 Maxwell prototype aircraft. The X-57 is an experimental electric plane being developed using a Tecnam P2006T twin-engined conventional light aircraft body. The wings are replaced by distributed electric propulsion (DEP) wings,each carrying multiple electrically driven propellers powered by batteries. The aircraft is intended to demonstrate technology to reduce fuel use,emissions,and noise. The first flight is expected in 2020. | |
