GE Aviation’s in-development Catalyst turboprop engine has been selected by XTI Aircraft as the core of its TriFan 600 VTOL hybrid-electric propulsion system, GE announced today at EAA AirVenture. TriFan’s performance requirements are expected to be met as GE and XTI work together to define a series hybrid architecture.
