The Leading Edge Asynchronous Propeller Technology (LEAPTech) project tested the Hybrid-Electric Integrated Systems Testbed (HEIST) and was intended for a general aviation sized aircraft with Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) to show large improvements with regards to efficiency, emissions, safety and operating costs. The wing was designed for high loading to improve ride quality and show improved takeoff and landing characteristics. The full-scale test article wing had a 31-foot-span, had integrated electric motors, was mounted on a truck 20 ft. above ground and driven in a simulated flight test environment at various velocities up to 70 miles per hour. The simulated flight test varied primarily angle of attack and flap settings. These tests were conducted to obtain data and verify blown wing performance primarily with regards to lift. The experimental test results are presented.
