United States, Jan. 26 -- GE Aerospace announced a new test milestone for hybrid electric aviation, successfully demonstrating power transfer, extraction, and injection in a high-bypass commercial turbofan engine.Ground testing of a modified Passport engine was completed in 2025 at Peebles Test Operation as part of NASA's Turbofan Engine Power Extraction Demonstration project. Technical teams advanced understanding of the hybrid electric engine's system integration and controls, beyond just standalone components.GE Aerospace is developing a narrowbody hybrid electric architecture that embeds electric motor/generators in a gas turbine engine to supplement power during different phases of operation. The design optimizes performance and create...
