This effort supports NASA/Armstrong Flight Research Center’s research goal of setting up a small scale electric distributed propulsion test capability. The project has evolved and became NASA Langley “LEAPTech” (Leading Edge Asynchronous Propellers Technology) Team Seedling demonstrator, where a full-scale HEDP wing was built and tested at NASA Armstrong in conjunction with Joby Aviation. ESAero was the prime contractor and provided instrumentation engineering design and assembly support to the AFRC electric propulsion team and provided, manufactured, integrated and ground tested various components of the test stand and associated ground test equipment.
