A hybrid‑electric aircraft made a brief stop at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) on Wednesday morning. The jet, developed by GE Aerospace in partnership with NASA and Boeing, is the first of its kind to combine a conventional gas turbine on the left side with a fully electric turbine on the right. The aircraft’s visit marked a milestone in the testing of new propulsion technology aimed at reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency for commercial aviation.
