With the increased global focus on green energy and the introduction of a variety of hybrid-electric aircraft, Honeywell Aerospace has announced the development of a turbogenerator that would power electric motors for such products.
Honeywell Introduces Power Source for Hybrid-Electric Aircraft
Key Takeaways:
- Honeywell Aerospace has announced the development of a new turbogenerator designed to power electric motors and recharge batteries for various hybrid-electric aircraft, including urban air mobility vehicles like air taxis and cargo drones.
- The turbogenerator offers a lightweight, high-power output solution, significantly increasing power compared to previous models when combined with their HGT1700 APU, and is designed to run on jet fuel, diesel, and sustainable biofuels.
- Honeywell has partnered with Faradair Aerospace to integrate this turbogenerator into their Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft (BEHA), which aims to reduce noise, emissions, and operating costs for regional travel, with demonstrations of the turbogenerator expected later this year.
