NASA, GE Aerospace Advancing Hybrid-Electric Airliners with HyTEC
Hybrid-electric cars have been a staple of the road for many years now. Soon that same idea of a part-electric-, part-gas-powered engine may find its way into the skies propelling a future jet airliner. NASA is working in tandem with industry partner GE Aerospace on designing and building just such an engine, one that burns 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/aeron...#nasa #space #news #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_green_aviation_tech #nasa_blogs #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_iss_research #nasa_missions #nasa_earth #nasa_earth_observatory #nasa_for_educators #nasa_aerosols #nasa_climate_change #nasa_clouds #nasa_earth 's_atmosphere #nasa_grades_5_ -_8 #nasa_grades_9_ -_12 #nasa_grades_k_ -_4 #nasa_learning_resources #nasa_nasa_stem_projects #nasa_space_grant #nasa_earth_science #nasa_murep #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_artemis #nasa_orion_program #nasa_people_of_johnson
