Greased Lightning GL-10 Successful Transition Test
Greased Lightning GL-10 Successful Transition Test
NASA Langley researchers designed and built a battery-powered, 10-engine remotely piloted aircraft. The Greased Lightning GL-10 prototype has a 10-foot wingspan and can take off like a helicopter and fly efficiently like an airplane. In this video, engineers successfully transition the plan from hover to wing-borne flight in tests at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia.

Builders Notes: I used an old 80's GI Joe for the hands/jacket/pants and 5&9 gram servos for the pilot's head camera pan&tilt, throttle and control stick. The head tracking in the goggles controls the Mobius camera movement, it's actually very natural to look around while flying, it has been a fun project :). 1600mm wingspan w/ lights/flaps/retracts and fully animated scale cockpit. 4S 5000mah battery, 5.8GHz 400mW VTX.
