GE Aerospace completed the world's first hybrid electric flight above 30,000 feet in May 2026 over Plattsburgh, New York.
The modified Saab 340B was developed with NASA, BETA Technologies and Boeing for NASA's Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration project.
Flight testing included a single flight lasting more than two hours, among the industry's longest hybrid electric flights.
The system combined an electric powertrain with a gas turbine, successfully powering the propeller and recharging batteries during flight.
Earlier ground tests demonstrated a megawatt-class hybrid electric engine system, supporting development of technology scalable across engine architectures.
