Comment on Raytheon completes engine run of hybrid-electric flight demonstratorparent

Comments

I was wondering "why just two props" when reading this, thanks. Because they're reusing an existing airframe makes a lot of sense, even if a lot of benefits from electric airplanes come from adding more, smaller props.

Yes exactly - I think the idea is to give a way forward for existing airframes to use more efficient engines. The fact they are hybrid is irrelevant to the owner, they just see lower running costs.
