PHARES Powerplant Hybrid Application for REegional Segment

Coordinator: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP./CIE. (CA)

The PHARES project will accelerate and de-risk the entry into service of hybrid-electric ultra efficient regional aircraft by 2035. PHARES will mature and validate an advanced thermal engine (building on the PW127XT), an advanced propeller system and a hybrid-electric propulsion system (HEPS) in close alignment with physical integration and aerodynamical optimisation of pylon, nacelle and associated systems. In doing so, PHARES will contribute to no less than 20% of the 30% CO2 emission reduction target set out in SRIA and being fully compatible with sustainable aviation fuel. It will mature …

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2026-01-01 to 2030-12-31.
