Abstract

GE Aviation is committed to a more sustainable future of flight by developing revolutionary technologies that improve aircraft engine fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. In this presentation, GE Aviation’s engineering experts will discuss three major technology demonstration programs underway.

The CFM International RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) Program is developing next-generation propulsion technologies targeting at least 20% better fuel efficiency compared to today’s most efficient engines.

For NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) program, GE Aviation is developing a megawatt-class hybrid electric propulsion system.

Additionally, CFM is collaborating with Airbus on hydrogen combustion flight tests.

Speakers

David Ostdiek, GE Aviation RISE systems engineering — David leads the CFM RISE Program’s aerothermal system integration team with responsibility for performance, controls, thermal management, and preliminary design. This position builds on an 18-year career in aerospace.

Roman Seele, GE Aviation NASA EPFD program manager — Roman leads GE Aviation’s Hybrid Electric Altitude Testbed Program, which is part of NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project. GE is developing an integrated, megawatt-class hybrid electric propulsion system for flight tests later this decade that will pave the way toward hybrid electric propulsion concepts for the next generation of aircraft.

Sean Binion, GE Aviation manager of advanced systems — Sean brings more than 15 years’ experience to the aviation industry. His hardware technical/design experience spans from the fan and booster to the high pressure turbine module, and for the last five years, he has been a systems engineering leader for exploratory and advanced programs.
