Engineers at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in California expect to take delivery in May of a new Tecnam P-2006T twin propeller, four-seat airplane, then promptly tear it apart. The Tecnam's 34-foot-long stock wing, which bolts to the top of the fuselage, will be replaced with one with a dozen electric motors and propellers along its leading edge and two motors with propellers on the wingtips. Here, Buttons talks about electric-propulsion technologies.
