0:02:18.270,0:02:24.050
yeah so you got to turn the tires to the
driver side a little bit

0:03:43.620,0:03:50.160
huge milestone the the project consists
of many stake holders but amongst the the

0:03:50.160,0:03:55.260
NASA team here everybody's very excited
it's a formal milestone and informally

0:03:55.260,0:03:58.310
we're real excited about it

0:03:59.110,0:04:05.440
X-57 it's a manned electric airplane and
what we're doing is is developing

0:04:05.440,0:04:10.320
technologies related to electric
aircraft consisting of the motors

0:04:10.320,0:04:16.540
development of some safe battery systems
and learning lessons along the way and

0:04:16.540,0:04:21.300
pushing that out to other industry

0:04:22.600,0:04:31.100
At one time it was a Tecnum P-2000-6T that's a
twin-engine trainer now it's X-57 mod 2

0:04:31.110,0:04:36.750
and it'll be an all-electric aircraft
with with about 850 pounds of batteries

0:04:36.750,0:04:43.910
in a single pilot and electric motors on
the wingtip

0:04:44.660,0:04:49.490
so initially we started off doing wiring
doing tests and and turning it into an

0:04:49.490,0:04:53.210
electric aircraft and then we started
into actual functional tests ground

0:04:53.210,0:04:56.810
tests spinning propellers things like
that you know doing a slow build up

0:04:56.810,0:04:59.950
approach on this program

0:05:00.780,0:05:05.460
while this effort will be going on mod 3
with the with the smaller high aspect

0:05:05.460,0:05:10.410
ratio wing is right now is leaving AFRC
and heading out to back to San luis

0:05:10.410,0:05:14.490
Obispo to ES Aero and that's where we'll
be performing fit checks on a tooling

0:05:14.490,0:05:17.480
fuselage that we have there

0:05:18.340,0:05:23.800
We are trying to keep the schedule compressed and so by having things run
in a parallel effort then we don't have

0:05:23.810,0:05:29.259
any delays once we're done with mod to
testing we can move right into mod 3
