GE Aerospace Completes Milestone Testing for Hybrid Electric Engine System

NEWS: It's electric ⚡

GE Aerospace has completed ground testing of its megawatt-class hybrid electric engine system developed through NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project. For the first time, the fully integrated hybrid electric powertrain was tested including the gas turbine and electric machines, power electronics, and energy storage. Throughout the test campaign, teams simulated various flight phases such as taxi, takeoff, climb and cruise.

It's a major milestone for the technology development of hybrid electric powertrains to help meet customer needs.
