GE: Advancing Hybrid Electric Propulsion

It's here. We need to do hybrid before finally going full electric

Show us the NUMBERS, guys. Do they make ANY sense at all?????

"All we need now is 4 trillion dollars and 40 more years of development!" - GE, probably

There's been Electric RC airplanes for a long time, but it's going to be a LOT of battery power required to power a commercial jet for any distance.
Like it or not, Fossil Fuels POWERS OUR ECONOMY for the foreseeable future, and while it's GOOD to develop new avenues of Energy and "Clean" machinery, it's NOT "GOOD" to DESTROY the Economy on the PROMISE of "Going Green" when the REALITY is it's still a LONG WAY off.

Intresting... but the added weight is worth it?

the video editing is manic. the music is too loud and over dramatic and the 3d rotation is distracting

So it's an hybrid motorjet.
Except this one stores energy for later. But that energy needs to come from somewhere. Oh yeah... The turbines. So you gain extra power for takeoff and climb out. So your turbines can be smaller. But they work harder during cruise to charge the battery and haul the added weight of battery, motors, cables and regulators.
You'd be better off with a regular motorjet. Or as they're calling them now "compound jet" which makes sense. Studies show a 15-20% fuel savings over turbines.

need data on that topic

Ge has Challenged Laws of Thermodynamics..😃

From washing machines to ION propulsion

So when does re-gen occur?

Awesome

faster before its too late
