GE Aviation Czech and ATB Antriebstehnik AG have agreed to jointly explore turboprop propulsion solutions for the general aviation and urban mobility market in the power range between 500 and 1000 SHP, leveraging GE’s H Series turboprop aircraft engine technology and ATB electrical machines. Different configurations will be investigated and a first proof of concept test is aimed to take place later this year.

"We’re excited to contribute into the development of more sustainable transportation systems and greener flight," said Michele D`Ercole, President and Managing Executive of GE Aviation Czech, Business and General Aviation Turboprops.
