This artist concept shows a NASA-developed small-core jet engine installed in General Electric Aerospace\u2019s CFM RISE jet engine design. The more fuel-efficient small core powers a large open turbofan, which also helps increase efficiency. The effort is part of NASA\u2019s Sustainable Flight National Partnership to help inform the next generation of ultra-efficient airliners.<\/div>\n

NASA, alongside industry, will soon begin designing a new jet engine concept for the next generation of ultra-efficient airliners<\/a> \u2014 officially graduating to the project\u2019s next phase.<\/p>\n

As part of NASA\u2019s goal to\u00a0make the aviation industry more sustainable<\/a>, the agency is developing a small core for a hybrid-electric turbofan jet engine that could reduce fuel burn by 10% compared to today\u2019s engines.<\/p>\n

A jet engine\u2019s core is where compressed air is combined with fuel and ignited to generate power. By making this core smaller, fuel efficiency can be improved and carbon emissions reduced.<\/p>\n

The goal of the project, named Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC)<\/a>, is to demonstrate this compact core and have the technology ready for adoption in engines powering next-generation aircraft in the 2030s. HyTEC is a key component of NASA\u2019s Sustainable Flight National Partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To achieve its ambitious goal, HyTEC is structured in two phases:<\/p>\n
