NASA has officially announce about the future involves flying taxis, NASA is set to test its first all-electric X-plane to encourage and develop certification standards for an electric aircraft.

NASA’s X-57 Maxwell is now at the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center for testing.

NASA plans to test the aircraft’s electric propulsion system to check its reliability and inform other aircraft manufacturers dealing with all-electric configurations.

The X-57 is also termed as the X-57 Mod II (as in modification II) which does not feature wings. It is also worth noting that the X-plane was delivered by Empirical Systems Aerospace (ESAero) of San Luis Obispo, California on Wednesday, Oct 2nd.

NASA X PlaneThe electric aircraft replaces the traditional combustion engines with electric cruise motors. Now, the delivery of X-plane will allow NASA engineers to perform ground tests, taxi tests, and flight tests to end with.

It will undergo extensive ground testing to ensure that it is worth taking a flight in the first place.

“The X-57 Mod II aircraft delivery to NASA is a significant event, marking the beginning of a new phase in this exciting electric X-plane project,” said X-57 Project Manager Tom Rigney.

As mentioned, this is the Mod II configuration that will undergo ground testing. In addition to this, the Mod III and Mod IV models (or configurations) are also in progress to be tested at NASA Armstrong’s Flight Loads Laboratory.

Obviously, Mod III & IV will include wings to test it for flights and other factors in their testing.

While the test has already commenced, it will be interesting to see what it has to offer for the future.

Sweet

I'll be the first Nigerian to get it

Of course, you don't have any competitor in your dreams.

Dream on, bro

Omo technology is advancing everyday, electricity is about to be powering planes and we can't even get 24 hrs supply in Nigeria

Pele o if another nigerian gets it before you go and collect it na

The wisdom of men is getting of out of imagination.

I don't know if this story is really true.

When I was a child, I heard a story that seem to be true today regarding the endless breakthrough in sciences world.

My story..:


I was told that there was a time an angel come to the earth to show all mankind a secrets. This involved all races with the black men in numbers.

Now, being a secrets, everybody involved were ask to close their eyes so they won't be hurt by the consequences of opening their eyes.

I learned that, all the black people present in that event closed their eyes till the end of the show. But the white men present in the event outsmart The angel by secretly keeping their eyes opened.

Now after the shows, the white men goes with the knowledge of the secret, while the black men goes with nothing.

Today breakthrough in scientific studies could make this story true o?

Imagine, with all the abundances natural resources that God has bless this country with, we have nothing to show.

Na now we dey try to produced pencil from oyinbo machine.


Mbok, mme mbuk emi adi akpaniko?

Elon musk on this one..

I hope to own a couple...

though have ordered for 5, but they said it won't be deliver until next 3 years.

The west are inventing new stuffs everyday.....while we are still crying for 30k minimum wage.


May God punish our leaders

Technology
Ours is just to be watching and waiting till the next breakthrough

Good one

But why can't blacks also manufacture stuff like this? Why are we always buying and not creating?

This is good

When will. Sea taxi enter Nigeria?

Always thinking how to make things better.

There's something in the white man DNA Africans don't have.

Africa our own is just to eat and sleep

While other continents are far ahead of Africa in teams of science and technology,Africa is still dragging her feet in the mud...ESPECIALLY a country called Nigeria that has failed in all ramifications and has no solution to her problem,i repeat;Nigeria has no solution to her problem....Bastard leaders.

Go and read Lord lugard submission about typical Nigerian mind you'll understand why

Oyibo are really trying.
