NASA Develops Electric Flight Technology for Industry to Use…
While at EAA AirVenture 2016, our ANN video crew checked in with NASA to find out what’s going on with their experiments into electric powered flight. They had the opportunity to interview Mark Moore and Sean Clarke, who are both NASA Principal Investigators for the Sceptor X-57 project. Just the name of this project sounds pretty exciting, and it is. The project centers on using electric propulsion for airplane flight, and the system being developed by NASA is referred to as ‘Distributive Electrical Propulsion.’
The first start of an aircraft engine is often a milestone, but in this case it’s an amazing achievement. The North American P-82, later to become the F-82, Twin Mustang fighter went into production just as World War Two was ending. This unusual airplane gives the appearance of being Two P-51 Mustangs connected together, but it was actually a completely new design. While its entrance into service was too late to help out in World War Two, it saw successful service dur
The Aviation Environment Federation (AEF) is the principal UK non-profit environmental association concerned with the environmental effects of aviation.
