NASA and Tecnam as partners for the revolutionary quest of electrical powered airplanes. Who wudda thunk it?
Install a wing full of electric motors on a production airplane…now there is something new. I think the fella who installed a couple of RC electric motors, ESC, and li-po batteries on his Cri-Cri oughtta cry “foul” since he had already pioneered the multi-motor concept.
I wonder if the FAA is going to require a multi-motor rating for this airplane. Seems like multi-engine does not meet the scientific nomenclature criteria, therefor demanding another rating with appropriate acronym. Hmmm…MMCFII should do it.
