HyTEC Image Gallery

Here are some images showcasing the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project, which is working with industry partners to develop small core engine technologies to enable fuel burn reductions, additional use of electric airplane systems through power extracted from the engine, and advance engine operability and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels.
