The firm says the UltraFan technology is quieter and more fuel efficient than anything it has made before.<\/p>\n<p>UltraFan delivers a 10% efficiency improvement over the world&#8217;s most efficient large aero-engine in service, the Trent XWB, Rolls-Royce said. Company bosses have described the technology as a &#8220;game-changer&#8221;. Rolls-Royce said the successful tests meant the industry was a step closer to achieving its target of net zero flight by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic said: &#8220;The UltraFan demonstrator is a game changer &#8211; the technologies we are testing as part of this programme have the capability to improve the engines of today as well as the engines of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is why this announcement is so important &#8211; we are witnessing history in the making, a step-change in engine efficiency improvement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tests took place at the Testbed 80 facility in Sinfin and the demonstator was powered by 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This is derived primarily from waste-based sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oils, Rolls-Royce said. The UltraFan project, which has been supported by the UK government, has been a decade in the making after being unveiled publicly in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch said: &#8220;This cutting-edge technology will help the transition towards a greener future for aviation while attracting further investment into the UK&#8217;s aerospace industry, helping grow the economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eritrea\">Eritrea<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eritrea.
