As part of the verification and validation process, the all-electric cruise motors to be used on NASA’s X-57 Maxwell began several rounds of tests, high power, and endurance testing at Empirical Systems Aerospace, or ESAero, of San Luis Obispo, California. The lessons learned from cruise motor tests will help in the effort to set airworthiness standards for electric aircraft.
