The experimental, fully electric X-57 Maxwell is designed to enable lower energy con-sumption at cruise compare to a fuel burning baseline. This is to be achieved using a sumof subsystem benefits incorporated in the electric, airframe, and propulsion systems. AMission Planning Tool captures the three stages of X-57 development in order to assess thedesign of each subsystem in the context of the whole aircraft. The Mission Planning Toolfor the fully electric X-57 Maxwell captures the aerodynamics, propulsion, heat transfer,and power system of the aircraft with trajectory optimization capabilities. It is able tomodel these subsystems through all phases of flight, from taxi to landing. Through thismultidisciplinary approach, we are able to predict the benefit of each subsystem and theeffect of key design assumptions and how the aircraft will react if they are not met or ex-ceeded. As the aircraft progresses and systems are tested, we can use the Mission PlanningTool to continue to predict performance. This paper details the continued development ofthe X-57 Mission Planning Tool and demonstrates its capabilities.
