Powering the third era of aviation Rolls-Royce is working with industry partners to pioneer hybridelectric and all-electric power and propulsion. This quiet revolution will soon offer the opportunity for more sustainable growth and reduced carbon emissions - and also transform the way we travel. Find out more: rolls-royce.com/electrification. Pioneering the power that matters.
editorial Unmanned is coming first - Certification on its way Why eVTOL and eSTOL unmanned cargo transport applications are a rising market? Despite Corona where many things stand still, the electrification of aviation is continuing moving forward. There are new investments flowing into the eVTOL area - like Lilium’s investment in March of this year. There was the world’s first certification of an aircraft in the CS–LSA Class, and the first certification of an electric propulsion system for a certified aircraft - both done by EASA and both received by the Slovenian Manufacturer Pipistrel. Also there is a new trend in the eVTOL industry around the world’s 1st Cargo. With prevailing evidence, it appears that eVTOL and eSTOL used for unmanned cargo delivery application is becoming a rising market. Therefore, it is worthwhile to keep a close eye on this and also on relevant manufacturers and operators. Though there is no official specification to define cargo transport eVTOL and eSTOL, it is safe to use passenger-grade payload weight capacity as a guideline to differentiate heavy-haul eVTOL and eSTOL from small cargo drones, i.e. 100 kg should be a reasonable benchmark for cargo transport eVTOL and eSTOL. In comparison: small cargo drones such as Google’s Wing delivery UAV can carry only several kilograms and thus their application and use cases are very different from heavy-haul eV- TOLs and eSTOLs. More details on this, you can read in our report on page 12. In many cases the technology used for the aircraft is exactly the same in manned applications so the Cargo will pave the way for the Airtaxis - the future starts today.
