The DELIVER project ends in October 2014.
Rolls-Royce’s all-electric aircraft the ‘Spirit of Innovation’ ( earlier post ) will take to the skies for the first time in the coming weeks as it works towards a world-record attempt with a target speed of 300+ mph (480+ km/h). The current speed record for an all-electric plane—set by Siemens in 2017—is 210 mph.
The excitation of the rotor is not induced by fixed permanent magnets, but by the feed-in of electric energy. The low electric power consumption combined with the high energy density battery pack enable the longer ranges of the vehicle. Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 3.9 Gross energy content of the pack is 83.9
The show car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds and reaches an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Significant vehicle weight reduction and an accompanying change of enabling regulations and norms is the way forward in the quest to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emissions, according to Paris-based Frost & Sullivan Senior Consultant, Nicolas Meilhan. Such light vehicles consuming 2L per 100 km (118 mpg US) already exist.
It has a high energy density and is consequently particularly suited as a storage medium for the electric energy generated by the electric motor. The diesel hybrid model is furthermore equipped with an electric vacuum pump and a braking system for effective energy recuperation custom-developed for the hybrid.
One key factor here is the energy management system: the optional radar-based regenerative braking system, for example, ensures the optimal recuperation of braking energy back into the battery. For CO 2 emissions, and likewise for primary energy requirements, the use phase represents a share of 53% and 59% respectively.
