Advancing Electrical Technology

Our electrical technology demonstrators play a vital role in our sustainability strategy, helping us to both improve fuel efficiency and bring new propulsion technologies to the marketplace.

ACCEL: Accelerating the Electrification of Flight

Rolls-Royce worked with partners Yasa and Electroflight to develop the technology that powered the ‘Spirit of Innovation’, the world’s fastest electrically powered, zero-emissions aircraft. The project, which was partly funded by the Aerospace Technology Institute, helped to develop our capabilities in delivering the electrification of flight, an important part of our sustainability strategy.

Paving the way towards an electrifying future for air travel

Building ACCEL sustainably

H3PS

Together with the Italian aircraft manufacturer, Tecnam and the Austrian engine producer, BRP-Rotax, Rolls-Royce developed the capabilities for a parallel-hybrid-electric powertrain to achieve reduced fuel consumption and emissions – without compromising aircraft endurance and performance. The project introduces advanced technology for a smaller power class while being scalable for larger general aviation aircraft.

A milestone in hybrid-electric flight

CityAirbus

In a collaboration with Airbus, Rolls-Royce developed the electric propulsion and power distribution system for the CityAirbus Alpha demonstrator, the world’s most powerful eVTOL to date. The flight test campaign was successfully concluded after over 100 flight missions, advancing the development of certifiable power and propulsion products for the emerging Urban Air Mobility market.

Power Generation in the MW class

In collaboration with ATI UK and funded by Clean Sky 2, Rolls-Royce designed and tested an electric machine and its corresponding power electronics in the MW class for a hybrid-electric, 100-seat regional aircraft demonstrator programme, E-Fan X. While challenging physical boundaries toward power and propulsion technology for larger aircraft classes, the project helped to expand Rolls-Royce’s system integration capability for future turbogenerator designs.
