NASA's Hybrid Electric Aircraft Concept
Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research (SUGAR) along with Boeing, created a concept to use distributed turboelectric powered engines for typical short-range flights. Efficient regular jet engines are used for more power in take-offs, then electric power supplement and even takeover the turbofans in lower/zero emission level/cruising flights. Plane concept designs to quieter, reduce fuel burn emission by 70% and be viable in 2030-2050 time frame.
