Rolls-Royce’s ionBird concludes ground testing
ionBird, a 500 HP electric plane by Rolls Royce, has successfully completed its ground testing phase and is now ready for flight testing.
Parts of its “Accelerating the Electrification of Flight” initiative, Rolls Royce designed the ionBird to be the fastest electric plane in the world. The projected maximum speed of the aircraft is around 480 km/h, with a targeted range of around 320 km
The company is yet to announce the date of the ionBird’s maiden flight, though it is expected to be soon. The goal of the aircraft will be to reach a speed faster than the current record holder, an Extra 330LE, whose peak velocity is around 342.9 km/h.
