The not-the-cars bit of Rolls-Royce has clearly gotten 2019 off to a, ahem, flying start. It has announced a rather ambitious plan that entails building an all-electric plane and sending it to over 300mph. Should it achieve that lofty aim, said plane will become the fastest all-electric plane in the history of flying things. Rolls is keen to point out this is no publicity stunt. "It"s part of a Rolls-Royce initiative called ACCEL short for accelerating the electrification of flight" that"s intended to pioneer a third wave of aviation in support of Rolls-Royce"s strategy to champion electrification."
