Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) Project Overview

Abstract

Goal: - The Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) Project will accelerate the development of the next generation small-core turbofan engine technologies with improvements in efficiency, durability, performance, hybridization, and sustainability in order to meet the next Entry into Service (EIS) single aisle aircraft expected in the 2030’s. Objectives: - Achieve 5-10% fuel burn reduction versus 2020 best in class. - Achieve up to 20% power extraction (4 times current state of the art) at altitude to optimize propulsion system performance and enable hybridization. - Demonstrate the effective and efficient operability of high blend (>80%) Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) in 2030s EIS combustors.
