GE Aerospace has successfully concluded the NATO Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability (NGRC) power plant concept study, which focused on exploring various power plant solutions for future medium-lift rotorcraft. The study included in-depth evaluations of advanced gas turbines, hybrid electric systems, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen combustion engines. GE Aerospace, in collaboration with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), analyzed multiple combinations of power plants and airframe configurations to assess performance metrics such as unit costs, operational costs, total life cycle costs, speed, payload, and range to ensure they align with NATO's objectives. The study, awarded in December 2023, aimed to provide valuable insights into the capabilities of different power plant options to support the development of NATO's next-generation, multi-capable helicopter. The NGRC project, initiated by France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and the UK, seeks to replace aging medium-lift helicopters from 2035 to 2040 with advanced features, including the ability to team with unmanned platforms, carry weapons, and maintain operational efficiency. The envisioned rotorcraft is expected to weigh between 10 to 17 tons, cost under 35 million euros, fly unrefueled for up to 1,650 kilometers, operate at an optimal cruise speed of 220 knots, and accommodate up to 16 fully equipped troops. The NGRC project also sets requirements for the aircraft's lifting capacity, availability rate, and cost per flight hour to ensure it meets the operational needs of NATO partner nations.
