Efficiency Efforts Continue Towards 5%-10% Improvement in Fuel Consumption
NASA selected GE Aerospace of Cincinnati to work on the agency’s Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project, a program that will hopefully "develop more fuel efficient engines for single-aisle aircraft." The HyTEC Phase 2 Integrated Core Technology Demonstration offers a cost-sharing contract with a maximum value of about $68.1 million, with a 5-year performance period that begins on February 15th, 2024. The contract is awarded with a 50% minimum GE Aerospace cost share during the contract period.
