official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY 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 suchContinue reading “NASA, GE Aerospace Advancing Hybrid-Electric Airliners with HyTEC”
