Successful test by UIUC, NASA, and Collins gets us one step closer to electric aircraft
A one-megawatt electric motor that could help propel future, more environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable aircraft was tested during April and May by NASA and its industry and academic partners. The center of attention is an electric machine that can work either as an electric motor to turn propellers or large engine fans or a generator to produce one million watts of power – enough to power 760 average U.S. households.
