Astro Mechanica's engine operates in three distinct modes: Mode 1 uses an electric motor to spin the "blisk" – a bladed disk the company makes in-house that acts as the compressor/turbofan instead of ...

One of the rarest, most perilous mechanical failures in commercial aviation is an engine loss on takeoff, yet that’s exactly what investigators say happened to UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville. The ...

GE Aerospace is developing a hybrid electric demonstrator engine with NASA that will embed electric motor/generators in a high-bypass commercial turbofan to supplement power during different phases of ...

Enormous engines like the GE90 had to be developed to power the 777, primarily because it has two turbofans rather than four.

GE Aerospace reported it is working with NASA to test a hybrid electric demonstrator engine with NASA that will embed electric motor/generators in a high-bypass commercial turbofan, to supplement ...

In a significant leap towards sustainable aviation, GE Aerospace by General Electric GE is developing a hybrid electric engine, aiming to power narrow-body jets by the mid-2020s. What Happened: GE ...

NASA has awarded GE Aerospace a contract for Phase 2 of the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) program, supporting ...

The development began in the mid-1980s when the Air Force needed an engine to produce a thrust in the 129 kN class, while retaining the durability and reliability of the F100-PW-220 and F110-GE-100 ...

GE Aerospace arrives at Farnborough with one eye trained on the future – specifically on developing an open-fan engine for future narrowbody jets – and the other focused on recovering from supply ...

GE Aerospace is set to supply SkyWest Inc. with at least 120 CF34 engines to power the 60 new Embraer 175 regional aircraft that the carrier booked recently. GE Aerospace did not indicate the value of ...

Despite a popular focus on stealth – and to a lesser extent, data fusion – in today’s fighters, America’s turbofan advantage is just as valuable in setting American fighters apart through a ...
