Why is it important?
Electric propulsion for aircraft is a growing field and X-57 Maxwell is NASA's first all-electric airplane demonstrator. Lessons learned from this aircraft will be applied to future demonstrators, future electric propulsion regulatory practices, and industry.
Perspectives
This paper was a collaboration between NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center and ESAero.
