NASA SCEPTOR electric concept aircraft power system: X-plane electric propulsion system design and qualification for crewed flight testing

Abstract

We're at the beginning of a 30-50 year propulsion revolution Electric propulsion is not merely about propulsion, it's about being able to apply a scale-free technology to fundamentally change how we design vehicles Synergistic integration of Distributed Electric Propulsion will transform aircraft, and the missions they perform, and potentially society. The age of on-demand services is about to lead to On-Demand Mobility.
