Hybrid Gas-Electric Propulsion Concept
Project Description
Hybrid Gas-Electric Propulsion Concept establishes viable concept for 5-10 MW hybrid gas-electric propulsion system for a commercial transport aircraft.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Electrified propulsion has the potential to provide substantial improvements in aircraft fuel burn and energy usage, and has further potential to improve emissions and noise. This technical challenge explores concepts and establishes the feasibility of the underlying technologies that will be required to obtain these savings in order to enable the paradigm shift from gas-turbine to electrified propulsion.
