Description	A NASA concept designed to look at the potential to reduce operating costs by an order of magnitude through the use of electric propulsion. While the range of such aircraft are limited to only 200 miles, even using advanced batteries, there are enormous potential benefits by integrating the propulsion more tightly with the aerodynamics. Look at Hanger Rash Blog for an article, AIAA paper, and slides that further describe this concept.
Source Quality	1 - The source material used to create this model was Definitive. This means the VSP model is the definition of the vehicle or part (it was built from the model or the model is the best source of infromation available).
Model Suitability	1 - Accurate OML for detailed aerodynamic analysis or CFD 1 - Check internal layout/volume 1 - OML for wetted areas/drag buildup 1 - Build a display model 1 - Cartoon or Pretty Picture 3 - Structures 3 - Weight and balance
