Telemetry testing begins on the X-57 Maxwell, NASAs first all-electric X-plane, as the operations crew at NASAs Armstrong Flight Research Center records the results. Telemetry testing is a critical phase in X-57s functional test series. In addition to confirming the ability of the X-57 aircraft to transmit speed, altitude, direction, and location to teams on the ground, telemetry testing also confirms the ability to transmit mission-critical-data, such as voltage, power consumption, and structural integrity. X-57s goal is to help set certification standards for emerging electric aircraft markets.
