This is the world’s fastest all-electric aircraft

The aircraft was powered by a 400kW electric powertrain for its record-breaking runs and the most power-intensive propulsion battery pack ever built in aerospace.

Rolls-Royce’s all-electric ‘Spirit of Innovation’ aircraft is officially the world’s fastest all-electric aircraft, setting two new world records that have now been independently confirmed. The aircraft reached a top speed of 555.9 kmph over 3 km/h, breaking the existing record of 213.04 kmph. In the race ahead at the UK’s Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down experimental aircraft test site, the aircraft achieved a top speed of 532.1 kmph, 15 km/h faster than the previous record – 292.8 km/h. The aircraft was powered by a 400kW electric powertrain for its record-breaking runs and the most power-intensive propulsion battery pack ever built in aerospace.

Both records are officially verified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the World Air Sports Federation that regulates and certifies world aeronautical and astronautical records. During its record-breaking runs, the aircraft, which is part of the UK government-supported ACCEL or ‘Accelerating the Electrification of Flight’ project, also clocked a maximum top speed of 623 kmph, making it the world’s fastest all-rounder. became an electric vehicle.
