is designing what it hopes to be the world's fastest all-electric airplane that can reach up to 300 mph: the ACCEL, short for "Accelerating the Electrification of Flight."
The aircraft's battery has enough energy to power 250 homes or fly London to Paris, about 200 miles, with one charge.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesRolls-Royce is designing what it hopes to be the world's fastest all-electric airplane that can reach up to 300 mph: theThe company is collaborating with the UK government, YASA, and Electroflight for the engineering feat.
"We're gaining the know-how to not only pioneer the field of electric-powered, zero-emissions aviation - but to lead it. At this point, our confidence is sky high," Rolls-Royce ACCEL Project Manager Matheu Parr saidIn order to follow the progress of the aircraft, its makers track 20,000 data points per second on the powertrain that provides energy to the propellers, all while monitoring the battery.
"We believe pure electric, or all-electric, propulsion will power smaller aircraft in the foreseeable future- while larger aircraft will rely on hybrid electric solutions that combine electrification with evolutions of the gas turbine," Rolls-Royce CTO Paul Stein said in a statement.
