These systems are planned to be used to rigorously test the performance and reliability of shipboard propulsion systems in a controlled, land-based environment before deployment at sea.
GE Vernova's Power Conversion business in the UK has been chosen by Team Resolute to supply advanced hybrid propulsion technology for three Fleet Solid Support (FSS) ships for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). This collaboration underscores the UK’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of its naval operations.
GE’s FLyCLEEN project is part of a larger effort with ARPA-E to advance the fundamental building blocks of commercial passenger hybrid electric flight.
For the hybrid electric test flights, GE Aerospace is partnering with Boeing and its subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences using a modified Saab 340B aircraft powered by GE’s CT7 engines.
The deals include more than 100 GEnx-1B engines, as well as 70 CFM LEAP-1A engines, 80 CFM LEAP-1B engines, and 37 CF34-8E engines, along with multiple service contracts.
The deal includes a firm order for 40 GEnx engines, 20 GE9X engines, plus services. This is the largest LEAP engine order ever with more than 800 LEAP engines chosen for an entire firm order of 400 Airbus and Boeing single-aisle aircraft.
Awarded $4.1 million in Phase 2 funding through ARPA-E’s Aviation-class Synergistically Cooled Electric-motors with iNtegrated Drives (ASCEND) program to build and demonstrate a 350kW powertrain system.
