Rolls-Royce successfully tested its all-electric “Spirit of Innovatio” electric powered aircraft, as part of its quest to manufacture products with net zero carbon operations by 2030. The approximately 15-minute flight took to the skies on September 15, propelled by its powerful 400kW (500+hp) electric powertrain with a power-dense battery pack.
In June last year, Roll-Royce announced its pathway to net zero carbon emissions and this marks a major step towards aviation’s decarbonisation and the UN Race to Zero campaign.
