Still haven't worked out what Rolls are contributing to it. It's a YASA/Evolito (now owned by Mercedes) motor, off-the-shelf airframe modified by a company in Gloucestershire, and from memory someone else is doing the battery pack.

Someone had to write the press release! :lol:

It'll be a distraction exercise to brand the company/industry that make hugely-polluting jet engines as "green".
