How this all-electric plane is targeting the record books
Rolls-Royce’s ambitions to build the world’s fastest all-electric aircraft has taken an important step forward with the unveiling of the plane at Gloucestershire Airport. The plane is part of a Rolls-Royce initiative called Accelerating the Electrification of Flight (ACCEL) and involves a host of partners including electric motor and controller manufacturer YASA and the aviation start-up Electroflight. ACCEL is said to have one of the most power-dense battery packs ever assembled for an aircraft, providing enough energy to fuel 250 homes or fly 200 miles (London to Paris) on a single charge. Its 6 000 cells are packaged to minimise weight and maximise thermal protection.
