NASA is bringing back the X Men for an electric project.

NASA is bringing back the X Men for an electric project. 

The short version: 

• In the “near future” NASA will perform test flights on the X-57 Maxwell. 
• It has been two decades since NASA has released an X plane. X planes are created to test new technologies. 
• The X-57 will be the first fully electric experimental plane that NASA will fly. 
• First, the plane needs to go through ground testing. 
• The X-57 will lead to standards, design practices, and certification plans for the upcoming electronic flight industry. 

Not only is electric flight exciting, but NASA released a new X plane brings back a feeling of innovation, exploration, and frontier spirit to that great organization. Lets make sure NASA has “The Right Stuff”.
