RTX subsidiary Collins Aerospace starts hybrid-electric powertrain testing for Clean Aviation SWITCH project

Collins Aerospace began lab testing of electric motor drive systems for the EU Clean Aviation SWITCH project at its “The Grid” electric power systems lab in Rockford, Illinois. The tests cover a hybrid-electric powertrain subsystem that includes motor generators, controllers and power distribution systems. Collins designed and produced megawatt-class electric motors and controllers at its Solihull, UK facility. Pratt & Whitney is expected to integrate validated subsystems, including two megawatt-class motor generators, into a hybrid-electric GTF engine demonstrator in a later testing phase.
