NASAs all-electric X-57 Maxwell, in its Mod II configuration, departs Scaled Composites facility at Mojave Air and Space Port, en route to NASAs Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California for delivery. The aircraft, shipped as two parts - the fuselage and the wing - was delivered to NASA Armstrongs Research Aircraft Integration Facility, where it will be reintegrated to begin ground tests, to be followed by taxi tests, and eventually, flight tests. X-57s Mod II configuration, the first of three primary modifications for the project, involves testing of the aircrafts cruise electric propulsion system. The goal of the X-57 project is to share the aircrafts electric-propulsion-focused design and airworthiness process with regulators, to advance certification approaches for distributed electric propulsion in general aviation.
