Hybrid-electric plane might reduce aviation’s air pollution problem

It was said that at cruising altitude, airplanes might emit a steady stream of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, where the chemicals could linger to produce ozone and fine particulates.

Accordingly, nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are a major source of air pollution and have been associated with asthma, respiratory disease, and cardiovascular disorders. In the new hybrid-electric design, a plane’s source of power could still be a conventional gas turbine, but it would be integrated within the plane’s cargo area.

Rather than directly powering propellers or fans, the gas turbine could drive a generator, to produce electricity, which electrically power the plane’s wing-mounted, electrically driven propellers or fans. check disclaimer on profile and landing page.
