Abstract generation in progress

RTX’s hybrid-electric flight demonstrator for regional aircraft, combining a thermal engine with an electric motor and battery system, successfully operated at full power. The project aims for a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to current turboprops and seeks to overcome challenges related to weight and high-voltage systems. The team is now preparing for flight testing, which will provide valuable insights for future electric-propulsion projects across RTX.
