helicopter and fly efficiently like an aircraft. That is a concept being

Imagine a battery-powered plane that has 10 engines and can take off like a
helicopter and fly efficiently like an aircraft. That is a concept being developed
by NASA researchers called Greased Lightning or GL-10.

The team, at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, is
looking at the idea initially as a potential unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
"We have a couple of options that this concept could be good for,"
said Bill Fredericks, aerospace engineer. "It could be used for small
package delivery or vertical take off and landing, long endurance surveillance
for agriculture, mapping and other applications. A scaled up version -- much
larger than what we are testing now -- would make also a great one to four
person size personal air vehicle.""

The GL-10 is currently in the design and testing phase. The initial thought
was to develop a 20-foot wingspan (6.1 meters) aircraft powered by hybrid diesel/electric
engines, but the team started with smaller versions for testing, built by rapid
prototyping.

"We built 12 prototypes, starting with simple five-pound (2.3
kilograms) foam models and then 25-pound (11.3 kilograms), highly modified
fiberglass hobby airplane kits all leading up to the 55-pound (24.9 kilograms),
high quality, carbon fiber GL-10 built in our model shop by expert technicians,
" said aerospace engineer David North.

"Each prototype helped us answer technical questions while keeping costs
down. We did lose some of the early prototypes to 'hard landings' as we learned
how to configure the flight control system. But we discovered something from
each loss and were able to keep moving forward."

During a recent spring day the engineers took the GL-10 to test its wings
at a military base about two hours away from NASA Langley. The remotely piloted
plane has a 10-foot wingspan (3.05 meters), eight electric motors on the wings,
two electric motors on the tail and weighs a maximum of 62 pounds (28.1
kilograms) at take off.

It had already passed hover tests -- flying like a helicopter -- with
flying colors. But now was the big hurdle -- the transition from vertical to
forward "wing-borne" flight. As engineers who have designed
full-scale vertical take off and landing tiltrotors such as the V-22 Osprey
will tell you -- that is no easy task because of the challenging flight
aerodynamics.

"During the flight tests we successfully transitioned from hover to
wing-borne flight like a conventional airplane then back to hover again. So far
we have done this on five flights," said Fredericks. "We were
ecstatic. Now we're working on our second goal -- to demonstrate that this
concept is four times more aerodynamically efficient in cruise than a helicopter."

Zack Johns is the GL-10's primary pilot. He says flying the ten-engine
aircraft has its ups and downs, but it really flies more like a three-engine
plane from a control perspective.

"All four engines on the left wing are given the same command,"
said Johns. "The four engines on the right wing also work in concert. Then
the two on the tail receive the same command."

One other advantage to the GL-10 besides its versatile vertical take off
and landing ability is its noise or lack of it. "It's pretty quiet,"
said Fredericks. "The current prototype is quieter than a neighbor mowing
the law with a gas-powered motor."

The next step in the GL-10 test program is to try to confirm its
aerodynamic efficiency, but first is a stop at the Association for Unmanned
Vehicles Systems International 2015 conference in Atlanta May 4-7. The GL-10
will be the centerpiece of an exhibit showcasing some of NASA Langley's UAV
research.

Part of that UAV research is for NASA Aeronautics' Unmanned Aircraft
Systems Integration in the National Airspace System Project, led out of the
Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Engineers from
Armstrong will highlight project accomplishments and upcoming work in a booth
in Atlanta. The goal of the project is to provide research results to reduce
the technical barriers associated with integrating unmanned aerial vehicles
into the skies.

Researchers from the Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia
will also be at the conference, highlighting unmanned aircraft for use in science
missions. "Remotely piloted aircraft are enhancing NASA science
investigations and serve as a platform to expand technology development for
aircraft, cubesats and other platforms," said Wallops Director's Office
official Mike Hitch.
