X-57 Maxwell electric aircraft,illustration. The X-57 is an experimental electric plane being developed by NASA 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 that electric propulsion can make planes quieter,more efficient and more environmentally friendly. The first flight is expected in 2020. | |
