- lb1lf 6y ago-Even more interesting given that Rolls-Royce plc has a number of boffins at a subsidiary in Trondheim, Norway working on exotic PM motor designs, including for aviation. (The company is called SmartMotor, was purchased by what was then Rolls-Royce Marine, then was retained under the RR umbrella when the rest of the Marine division was sold to Kongsberg a couple of years ago.
- BorgHunter 6y agoThat appears to be an error in the article. Rolls-Royce plc has a press release on this, not Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: https://www.rolls-royce.com/media/press-releases/2020/24-09-2020-rr-completes-ground-testing-of-technology-set-to-power-worlds-fastest-electric-plane.aspx https://www.rolls-royce.com/media/press-releases/2020/24-09-...
- aerospace_guy 6y agoThanks, I didn't notice the link to the press release at the bottom of the article.
