But the Pilots Will Have to Handle the Dreaded "Thirteen-Engine Approach!"

NASA has begun working on a new X-Plane, officially designated X-57 but nicknamed “Maxwell.” The electric aircraft will be powered by an impressive fourteen electric motors. Maxwell is the first new X-plane designated research aircraft from NASA in a decade.
"Maxwell"? That would make sense if it was the X-86.

The engine gauges must be a nightmare, not to mention the throttle and prop levers.

I guess they saved on mixture levers.

Maybe it is named for Maxwell's silver hammer?
