They are partnering with Airbus on the E-Fan X technology demonstrator project, which is a milestone towards hybrid-electric commercial aircraft at the scale of today\u2019s single-aisle aircraft family. The company is also working with Wideroe, the largest regional airline in Scandinavia on a joint research program for zero-emissions aviation. The program is part of the airline\u00b4s plans to electrify its regional fleet of 30+ planes by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidebanis\/2019\/12\/19\/rolls-royce-unveils-pioneering-electric-plane-to-break-speed-record\/#530513d52e6f\">Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British engineering company Rolls-Royce unveiled a plane it hopes will break the world record for the fastest all-electric aircraft.
