Abstract

Aeronoutical Engineering Student club activities Aeronautical Engineering 3rd year student Ayberk ERMUTUŞ has become the new president of the Aerospace Sciences Project Club. We wish him success. The club was introduced by the new club president on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 to the first year students who have just started the Aeronautical Engineering department. NASA chooses GE Aviation Turkey for electric aircraft engine program The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced a research partnership with GE Aviation to launch a new hybrid electric technology test vehicle program. Ground and flight tests of the hybrid electric propulsion system in the megawatt (MW) class are planned to be carried out by the mid-2020s. Flight tests of the hybrid electric technology will be conducted on a modified Saab 340B test aircraft and with GE's CT7-9B turboshaft engines. NASA will fund GE Aviation and its partners a total of $260 million over five years to accelerate the use of hybrid electric flight technologies in commercial aviation. After years of developing parts for hybrid electric systems' engines, generators and power converters, GE will systematically develop an integrated hybrid electric powertrain for single-aisle aircraft to demonstrate flight readiness.
