Astro Mechanica's hybrid-electric jet engine still burns fuel. It uses a turbine-driven generator to power electric motors that control compressor stages, enabling smoother transitions between turbofan, turbojet, and ramjet modes. There are no batteries. The electric assist improves efficiency and adaptability, but combustion remains the core energy source. It’s not an electric jet - it's a fuel-burning engine with electric augmentation.
