Slated for 2029, the new turbogenerator will be able to power hybrid-electric flights.

that would enable low-emission flights. At the ongoing Paris Air Show, the company plans to unveil this technology.Last year, Rolls Royce said that the turbogenerator has a fully integrated design – meaning that the gas turbine, generator, and power electronics all fit into a compact and lightweight engine.

Flight operators can switch between batteries and the generator as required, allowing for an increase in the range of the aircraft. Since part of the funding for the turbogenerator is coming from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Rolls Royce has been testing the engine at its centers in Dahlewitz, near Berlin, and in Hungary.Another reason for shifting its testing center away from Derby in the U.K.

"Rolls-Royce will be the leading provider of all-electric and hybrid-electric power and propulsion systems for Advanced Air Mobility," said Olaf Otto, President – Electrical at Rolls Royce, in a press release. "The Pass-To-Test of our brand-new small engine that will power our turbogenerator system is an important step forward."
