Randall Moon, an ATA instrument technician in AEDC’s Aerothermodynamic Measurement Laboratory, poses by the electric-powered truck he built from the frame up in his spare time. Even the reinforced leaf springs and 65-psi tires are unique; these modifications were needed because the truck weighs more than two tons due to rows of lead acid batteries in the truck’s bed.
