First disclosure! "Using electricity to fly, using oil to generate electricity" Domestic aviation engine technology upgraded again.

For a long time, the power of drones has taken two paths: fuel-driven propulsion is often used in medium and large drones, with strong power and long endurance, but noticeable noise. Pure electric drive is more often equipped on small or micro drones, with quiet and stealthy characteristics and low infrared features, but poor endurance. What if the two were combined to achieve a hybrid power system that balances durability and silence? CCTV military first revealed: on December 10, 2025, a 60kW hybrid power electric propulsion system underwent flight test verification, which enables the aircraft to "fly with electricity, generate electricity with oil". The gas turbine does not directly drive the aircraft, but powers the generator directly to charge the battery, while the aircraft is powered by the electric fan thrust. This type of extended-range hybrid power system combines the long endurance of fuel and the quiet advantage of electricity. The compact system is the "all-around partner" of the electric aircraft, generating electricity while flying, extending the range, eliminating the long charging process, deploying faster, shutting down the engine during flight, switching to pure electric mode, reducing heat, improving silence, and the fan duct that truly powers the aircraft, like putting a propeller into a cylindrical "hood", with even lower noise, truly achieving "quietly coming and quietly going". Now, the 60kW hybrid electric propulsion system has completed flight demonstration verification, the "heart" of the hybrid small drone, is gradually maturing.
