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 hybrid-electric urban air mobility aircraft.
- The turbogenerator offers a safe, lightweight solution, providing significantly more power than previous models, and can run on jet fuel, diesel, or sustainable biofuels.
- Honeywell is collaborating with Faradair Aerospace to integrate this technology into their Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft (BEHA), which aims to reduce noise, emissions, and operating costs for regional travel.
- Demonstrations of the new turbogenerator are expected to begin later this year.
