| Zusammenfassung | "Electric and hybrid-electric propulsion is being hailed as the next generation of flight, with double digit percentage Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) reductions anticipated. There are currently many different hybrid-electric and all-electric aircraft concepts being proposed by a whole host of companies, ranging from traditional airliners, airframers and propulsion companies, to non-aerospace suppliers and start-ups. As an aerospace propulsion provider, it is critical for Rolls-Royce to develop technologies and capabilities to remain relevant and competitive if an airframer does make the jump to an all-electric or hybrid-electric propulsion platform. Rolls-Royce is not sold on one single future aircraft architecture and therefore needs to develop technology and capability that can be applied to a wide range of future concepts. These technologies and capabilities include: * Megawatt class power generation systems * Megawatt class electric propulsor units * Thrust control for electric propulsors * Novel aircraft integration experience * An understanding of airworthiness requirements for such propulsion systems In order to rapidly develop and find solutions to challenges associated with the technologies listed above, Rolls-Royce needs to fly these components. Testing on the ground will not suffice to reduce the risks associated with a megawatt class hybrid-electric propulsion system. Airbus' E-Fan X demonstrator gives Rolls-Royce a route to fly these technologies on a safe platform." |
