BREAKING NEWS: History made!
GE Aerospace announced today a new industry first to advance hybrid electric flight, demonstrating the viability of more electric aircraft engine systems for commercial aviation.
In collaboration with @NASAaero, @BETA_aircraft, and @Boeing, GE Aerospace recently conducted the first hybrid electric flight above 30,000 feet, reaching the same altitude levels of passenger commercial aircraft.
The record-breaking test campaign was enabled by GE Aerospace's fully integrated, megawatt-class, and multi-kilovolt hybrid electric propulsion system developed through NASA's Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project.

We spend too much time arguing like we're right—and too little time listening like we're wrong.
Diatribes don't change minds. Productive disagreement depends on showing respect, curiosity, and humility.
The most compelling teachers are the ones who are most eager to learn.
With more than 4,000 flight hours, the 777-9 fleet is demonstrating its capabilities in key tests like crosswind landings, braking on wet and dry runways and taking off at high and low speeds. Hear from 777X Chief Pilot Ted Grady and check out these airplanes in action.
Let’s fly!
Our team successfully completed a first flight of a 777-9 today.
The pilots, along with system operators and flight analysts, completed a 2-hour, 27-minute flight profile to validate the airplane’s handling and performance.
