The experimental wing, called the Hybrid-Electric Integrated Systems Testbed (HEIST), was mounted on a specially modified truck. Testing on the mobile ground rig assembly will provide valuable data and risk reduction applicable to future flight research.The integrated experimental testbed reached speeds of up to 73 mph in data collection to create the effect of a wind tunnel on the ground.
