GE Aerospace Conducts Testing of Hybrid-Electric Turboshaft Engine
Read MoreHide Full Article
GE Aerospace (GE - Free Report) recently announced that it has conducted a successful demonstration of a hybrid electric turboshaft propulsion system for the U.S. Army. The project was undertaken as part of a $5.1 million research and development contract—the Applied Research Collaborative Systematic Turboshaft Electrification Project (ARC-STEP).
GE Aerospace performed the research, development and testing of one megawatt class electrified powerplant to combine this with an existing CT7 turboshaft engine. It’s worth noting that GE’s CT7 family of engines includes the T700 series, which has equipped the U.S. Army’s two flagship helicopters, the Black Hawk and the Apache.
The testing, which was performed at the GE Aerospace Research Center in Niskayuna, NY, involved the inspection and integration of advanced technologies to develop a lightweight and reliable hybrid-electric propulsion system. The effectiveness of hybrid electric propulsion on several platform types was also inspected.
GE Aerospace believes that this project will complement the company’s involvement in other hybrid-electric propulsion projects that include the Hybrid Electric Experiment (HEX) program with Sikorsky and Electric Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project with NASA.
GE’s Zacks Rank & Price Performance
The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). GE Aerospace has been witnessing strength in its businesses, driven by robust demand for commercial engines, propulsion and additive technologies.
Increasing international and U.S. defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, positive airline and airframer dynamics, and robust demand for commercial air travel augur well for the company. For 2024, the company expects organic revenues to grow in the high-single-digit range from the year-ago level.
