Aviation is entering a new era as GE Aerospace recently completed successful ground testing of a megawatt-class hybrid-electric propulsion system.
航空業正邁入一個新紀元，GE航空航太近期成功完成了兆瓦級混合動力電動推進系統的地面測試。
Conducted at the company's Peebles Test Operation in Ohio, this milestone is part of NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) program, which aims to revolutionize sustainable aviation for single-aisle aircraft.
這項里程碑式的測試在該公司位於俄亥俄州的皮布爾斯測試作業區進行，是美國航太總署(NASA)電氣化動力系統飛行演示(EPFD)計畫的一部分，旨在改革單走道飛機的永續航空發展。
The test involved integrating a GE CT7 gas turbine with advanced motor/generators, power converters, and batteries provided by BAE Systems.
測試涉及將GE CT7燃氣渦輪引擎與BAE系統公司提供的先進馬達/發電機、電力轉換器及電池進行整合。
During the evaluation, engineers simulated various flight stages, from taxiing to cruising, proving that the system can efficiently power propellers while simultaneously recharging onboard batteries.
在評估過程中，工程師模擬了從滑行到巡航的各種飛行階段，證實了該系統能在高效驅動螺旋槳的同時，為機上電池充電。
This hybrid technology is a core element of the CFM International RISE program, designed to increase fuel efficiency by over 20% and lower CO2 emissions.
這種混合動力技術是CFM國際RISE計畫的核心要素，旨在將燃油效率提升超過20%並減少二氧化碳排放。
Looking ahead, GE Aerospace plans to transition from ground testing to flight demonstrations using a converted Saab 340B regional airliner.
展望未來，GE航空航太計畫使用改裝後的薩博340B區域客機從地面測試轉向飛行演示。
By combining gas turbine performance with electric power, this innovation represents a significant leap toward a more sustainable future, with full compatibility for 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
透過將燃氣渦輪的性能與電力相結合，這項創新代表著朝向更永續未來的重大飛躍，並能與100%永續航空燃料(SAF)完全相容。
This achievement builds upon a decade of rigorous research, signaling that the next generation of cleaner, more efficient aircraft is quickly taking shape.
這一成就建立在十年來嚴謹研究的基礎上，象徵著下一代更潔淨、更高效的飛機正在迅速成形。
