2024年2月14日 · NASA’s X-57 Maxwell all electric aircraft has power! With the successful installation of two 400-pound lithium-ion battery packs in the cabin of the plane. The X-57 project is the agency’s first all-experimental electric aircraft, and an early part of NASA’s work to develop sustainable aviation solutions.

2018年9月13日 · NASA’s X-57 “Maxwell” is the agency’s first all-electric experimental aircraft, or X-plane, and is NASA’s first crewed X-plane in two decades. The primary goal of the X-57 project is to share the aircraft’s electric-propulsion-focused design and airworthiness process with regulators, which will advance certification approaches for ...

2021年9月2日 · The X-57 is an experimental aircraft designed to demonstrate radically improved aircraft efficiency with a 3.5 times aero-propulsive efficiency gain at a “high-speed cruise” flight condition for comparable general aviation aircraft. These gains are enabled by integrating the design of a new, optimized wing and a new electric propulsion system.

2023年6月23日 · NASA’s all-electric X-57 Maxwell continues to undergo high-voltage ground testing with successful spinning of the propellers under electric power at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California.

What is the X-57? A small, experimental airplane powered by electricity! All-electric technology will make flying cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable.

2024年9月13日 · NASA’s X-57 Maxwell was an all-electric experimental aircraft designed to demonstrate multiple cutting-edge technologies. The goal of the X-57 was to demonstrate that an all-electric airplane can be more efficient, quieter, and more environmentally friendly than airplanes powered by traditional gas piston-engines.

2022年10月19日 · NASA’s X-57 Maxwell all electric aircraft has power! With the successful installation of two 400-pound lithium-ion battery packs in the cabin of the plane. The X-57 project is the agency’s first all-experimental electric aircraft, and an early part of NASA’s work to develop sustainable aviation solutions.

2023年2月3日 · NASA’s X-57 Maxwell all-electric aircraft reached another milestone toward its first flight with the successful thermal testing of its cruise motor controllers. Thermal testing is important because it validates the design, operability, and workmanship quality of the controllers – critical components for providing power to X-57’s ...

X-57 Subproject Need Advance the Nation's ability to design, test, and determine airworthiness of distributed electric and aero -propulsive coupling technologies, which are a critical enabler of emerging, advanced air mobility markets. The value of X-57 lies in advancing the Nation’s ability to design, test, and

2016年6月17日 · This concept image illustrates NASA's X-57 plane in flight. With 14 electric motors turning propellers and all of them integrated into a uniquely-designed wing, NASA will test new propulsion technology using an experimental airplane now designated the X-57 and nicknamed “Maxwell.”
