The X-57 is powered by lithium-ion batteries weighing 680lb producing 69.1kW hours (with 47kW hours being usable). As part of the safety validation, NASA has also redesigned the batteries to prevent any 'thermal runaway' in all phases of flight. W AEROSPACE X-57 gets smarter NASA has released new images of the fi nal Mod IV confi guration of its X-57 Maxwell all-electric-distributed propulsion test aircraft – the fi rst piloted NASA X-plane in 20 years. The X-57 uses an Italian Tecnam P2006T which is being heavily modifi ed in phases with the fi nal confi guration featuring an electric distributed propulsion system, with 14 electric motors and propellers (two cruise motors and 12 high-lift motors) and a new high-effi ciency wing. The goal is a 500% increase in cruise fl ight effi ciency, zero-carbon emissions and quieter operations. NASA estimates that the electric propulsion system could save $165 per hour compared to internal combustion engines and decrease hourly energy operating costs from 45% to 9%. Telemetry testing on the X-57 has now been completed at NASA Armstrong at Edwards AFB, ahead of a fi rst fl ight later this year. NASAr 4 AEROSPACE MAY 2020 News.indd 2 21/04/2020 15:24:45 Props away In the final Mod IV configuration of the X-57, the X-plane will feature 14 electric motors, with two larger wingtip cruise motors and 12 high- lift motors. The Tecam's 100hp Rotax 912S engines, weighing 125lb are replaced by 60kW electric motors weighing 57lb, allowing them to be relocated to the wingtip to drive 5ft propellers. Meanwhile 12 10.5kW motors drive the 1.9ft high-lift propellers, which in cruise mode, will fold back into the nacelles, reducing drag.

  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.

    Annex to ED Decision 2013/024/R 10/09/2013 APPENDIX I AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS FOR PART-66 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCE The following aircraft type ratings should be used to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. The inclusion of an aircraft type in the licence does not indicate that the aircraft type has been granted a type certificate under the Basic Regulation and its Implementing Rules, this list is only intended for the maintenance purposes. In order to keep this list current and type ratings consistent, such information should be first passed on to the Agency via contact us in case a Member State needs to issue a type rating that is not included in this list. Notes on when the licences should be modified: When a modification is introduced by this Decision to an aircraft type rating or to an engine designation in the rating which affect licences already issued, the ratings on the AML licences may be modified at next renewal or when the licence is re-issued, unless there is an urgent reason to modify the licence. Notes on aircraft modified by STC: It is not the intention of this document to include all aircraft modified by STCs because a great number of STCs were approved before 2003 and are unknown to the Agency. When an aircraft has been modified by an STC for installation of another engine, the Part-66 type rating of this aircraft may change i.e. from Group 2 to Group 1. This is not reflected in this document. In case the applicant to a licence faces such a case, he/she or his/her competent authority can inform the Agency and a new type rating will be defined by the Agency.
