GE Aviation has announced a partnership with NASA to develop advanced engine cores for single-aisle aircraft. The move is part of GE’s effort to make commercial flight more sustainable.
GE Aviation, NASA Partner to Develop Compact Engine Core
Key Takeaways:
- GE Aviation has partnered with NASA on the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project to develop advanced, sustainable engine cores for single-aisle aircraft.
- The partnership aims to achieve a step-change reduction in fuel burn and emissions through more compact and efficient engine core designs.
- Key technological developments focus on compressors, high-pressure turbines, heat-resistant materials, and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).
- GE has been awarded nearly $20 million in contracts for this effort, with ground testing of a new engine core planned for the mid-2020s, supporting its CFM RISE Program.
