Presentation

Aerospace-grade electrical propulsion systems for advanced air mobility

Rolls-Royce develops differentiated power and propulsion technology for all-electric and hybrid electric eVTOLs and fixed-wing aircraft. Together with lead customers and partners, electric propulsion units have been designed, taking the specific requirements of different flight applications and missions into account. With the goal of certification within the next few years, their designs feature lightweight topology, novel thermal management solutions and the highest integration levels while aiming to meet the highest safety standards. The presentation will give an overview of the systems under design and their unique technological attributes, and an update on progress in the test labs.
