美国宇航局的研究人员正在研究电力推进系统的潜力，以彻底改变从小型通用航空部门到通勤和运输类车辆的飞机设计。电力推进提供了新的设计自由度，其可以实现推进系统与飞行器结构和控制系统的紧密耦合设计和优化的机会。这可能会导致所有权和运营成本，温室气体排放和噪音烦恼水平的显着降低。我们正在建造试验台，高保真飞机模拟，以及第一个高度分布式的电动载人飞行试验车辆，开始探索这些机会。
Researchers at NASA are investigating the potential for electric propulsion systems to revolutionize the design of aircraft from the small-scale general aviation sector to commuter and transport-class vehicles. Electric propulsion provides new degrees of design freedom that may enable opportunities for tightly coupled design and optimization of the propulsion system with the aircraft structure and control systems. This could lead to extraordinary reductions in ownership and operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise annoyance levels. We are building testbeds, high-fidelity aircraft simulations, and the first highly distributed electric inhabited flight test vehicle to begin to explore these opportunities.
