Raytheon Technologies has slowed the progression of a hybrid-electric passenger aircraft as a component of an effort called Project 804, the company insists it remains committed to advancing electric aircraft technologies.
It is not known to what extent Raytheon and its subsidiaries slowed Project 804.
The company attributes the change in speed to the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced many high-speed companies to reduce their number of workers and their costs.
“Aircraft electrification remains one of Raytheon Technologies’ top priorities, and we continue to evolve evolved enabling technologies [Project 804], albeit at a slower speed compared to Covid-19,” says Raytheon.

The team aimed to integrate a hybrid propulsion formula into a De Havilland Canada Dash 8-100 turboprop and make its first flight until 2022.

The hybrid formula would generate 1 MW of paints and paints in conjunction with the turboprop.
UTAP stated that such a generation could be proposed simply as a modernization of existing aircraft or presented on a new-designed aircraft.

Also in 2019, Collins presented a separate Rockford-based effort called “The Grid” to advance electrical systems technology.Grid’s task is to verify the 804 hybrid system, Collins said.
The slowdown in Project 804 paints is amid an industry slowdown that has led many aerospace suppliers to reduce costs.
Raytheon has cut about 8,000 jobs in the aerospace advertising sector this year and plans to keep about $6 billion in money by 2020, Chief Executive Greg Hayes said on July 28.
Paul Eremenko, chief technology officer at United Technologies, has resigned after two years in office.
