Rolls-Royce kept the promise it made when it acquired its “Spirit of Innovation” electric airplane, breaking speed records last week.

 

Rolls-Royce, which announced the release of its electric aircraft three years ago, had the ambition then to break the electric aviation world speed record. “Spirit of Innovation” is the fastest all-electric aircraft in the world, according to the brand, setting three new world records.

 

In a statement, they said they have submitted data to the International Aeronautical Federation. The latter controls and certifies aeronautical and astronautical world records. On November 16, the plane reached a maximum speed of 555.9 km/h over 3 kilometers, breaking the existing record of 213.04 km/h brasil-libido.com. In further tests at the British Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down experimental aircraft test site, the aircraft reached 532.1 km/h over 15 kilometers, 292.8 km/h faster than the previous record.

 

During its record-breaking runs, the aircraft reached a top speed of 623 km/h, which would make the “Spirit of Innovation” the fastest all-electric aircraft in the world.

 

Warren East, CEO of Rolls-Royce, said enthusiastically: “Claiming the world speed record for an all-electric vehicle is a fantastic achievement for the ACCEL team and Rolls-Royce. ( ed-nederland.com…) Following the global focus on the need for action at COP26, this is another step that will help make ‘jet zero’ a reality and support our ambitions to achieve the technological breakthroughs society needs to decarbonize air, land and sea transport”.

 

Meanwhile, UK Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said, “Rolls-Royce’s groundbreaking Spirit of Innovation aircraft is further evidence of the UK’s enviable record of innovation. This record will show the potential of electric flight and help unlock the technologies that could bring it into everyday life. The government is proud to support projects like this to drive the private investment needed to develop cleaner, greener aircraft that will allow people to fly like they do today, but in a way that reduces emissions”.
