In order to meet aggressive aircraft performance goals set by NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, the Glenn Research Center (GRC) is leading research and development of electrified aircraft propulsion systems with electricity being generated from a gas turbine engine or combination of gas turbine engine and an alternate energy source. The presentation will provide an overview of technical challenges and barriers affecting the development and implementation of turboelectric and hybrid electric systems. Advances will be required in multiple areas, which include energy storage, electrical machines, power transmission, power electronics, control systems, materials, thermal management, and multi-scale modeling tools. The presentation will summarize current GRC activities in these areas. Challenges associated with integration and demonstration of multiple technologies at the system level will be presented.
