Spirit of Innovation
The challenge of how aviation can become more sustainable and reach net zero carbon power is not new, and Rolls-Royce seek to pioneer the race for change with its ‘Spirit of Innovation’. This zero-emissions plane aims to be the fastest in the world and is set to surpass the current record of 213 miles per hour by reaching speeds of over 300 miles per hour.
The flights are scheduled for early 2021 and mark an important breakthrough in aviation. Rolls-Royce have supported record flying speed attempts in the past, including the Schneider Trophies in the early 1930s when a Supermarine S.6B, powered by a Rolls-Royce ‘R’ engine, was victorious.
The Bremont Supermarine watches have previously paid tribute to this achievement.
