The X-57 flight project will provide an opportunity to assess the benefits of distributed electric propulsion. The plan is to use a TECNAM P2006T twin-engine light aircraft (Aeronautiche TECNAM S.p.A., Capua, Italy) as the baseline aircraft, but design and fabricate a new wing to test the technology. The wing when fully integrated onto the X-57 TECNAM P2006T fuselage will incorporate two wingtip cruise electric motors and 12 high-lift electric motors along the wing span. The testing described in this paper confirmed the strength of the X-57 wing for flight and provided an opportunity to calibrate the wing flight strain gages for monitoring loads in flight. The X-57 wing was qualification tested in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Armstrong Flight Research Center Flight Loads Laboratory. This paper documents the airworthiness approach, test setup, instrumentation, and preliminary results. The X-57 ground load testing lessons learned are also discussed.
