The X-57 operations crew at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center prepare for telemetry testing on NASA's first all-electric X-plane, the X-57 Maxwell. Shown here in its first all-electric configuration, known as Mod II, X-57's series of functional tests helps engineers confirm that the vehicle will be ready for taxi and flight tests, and the telemetry testing confirms the ability of the aircraft to transmit location and test data to the ground. X-57 will help set certification standards for emerging electric aircraft markets.
