Signs Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Are The Future
One of the news items that recently crossed our path is the news that Pratt & Whitney Canada — which is a self-proclaimed “world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft and helicopter engines and auxiliary power units” — has signed an agreement with consulting firm Ricardo to co-develop hybrid-electric aircraft technology.
Both Ricardo and Pratt & Whitney Canada are major companies. That they are teaming up to tackle hybrid-electric aerospace solutions is an indication that the future of aerospace is … hybrid-electric powertrains, and then increasingly fully electric powertrains.: “The multi-year deal will see the Ricardo aerospace engineering team support Pratt & Whitney Canada in the development of advanced hybrid-electric propulsion technologies for next-generation aircraft.
Jean Thomassin, Executive Director of New Products and Services at Pratt & Whitney Canada, said: “Hybrid-electric propulsion technology is a core element of our strategy for continually advancing the efficiency of aircraft propulsion systems, in support of the industry-wide goal of achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions for aviation by 2050.
