H Rolls Royce θα υποστηρίξει με υπερσύγχρονη τεχνολογία ηλεκτροκινητήρων το μη επανδρωμένο αεροσκάφος της Vertical Aerospace με δυνατότητες (eVTOL) στο πλαίσιο της αρχής της εναέριας αστικής κινητικότητας (UAM).

[…Rolls-Royce’s ground-breaking technology is set to power Vertical Aerospace’s flagship Urban Air Mobility (UAM) aircraft. A Rolls-Royce electrical power system will be integrated into the piloted all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, which will carry up to four passengers for 120 miles at cruise speeds of over 200mph and is on course to certify in 2024. Vertical Aerospace is a key collaboration for Rolls-Royce Electrical as it marks our first commercial deal in the UAM market and builds on previous agreements to work with partners on demonstrator programmes. Rolls-Royce will design the system architecture of the whole electrical propulsion system, the electric power system that includes our latest 100kW-class lift and push electrical propulsion units, the power distribution and the monitoring system that will support operations…]
