First All Electric X-Plane More Efficient, Quieter and More Environmentally Friendly

NASA engineers and visionaries watched as the Tecnam P2006T – the future all-electric X-57 Maxwell – was uncrated at a small airport on the central coast of California, and slowly rolled out.

The arrival marks a critical milestone in NASA’s Scalable Convergent Electric Propulsion Technology and Operations Research (SCEPTOR) project, in which the electric propulsion integration and conversion of the Tecnam into the X-57 will commence.
