Rolls Royce & Hyundai Motor have announced plans to collaborate on bringing all-electric propulsion and hydrogen fuel cell technology to the Advanced Air Mobility market. The partnership will leverage Rolls-Royce’s aviation and certification capabilities and Hyundai Motor Group’s hydrogen fuel cell technologies and industrialisation capability. Both companies share a vision of leading the way in the AAM market delivering battery-electric and fuel cell electric solutions to the Urban Air Mobility (and Regional Air Mobility markets and advancing sustainable aviation.The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Rolls-Royce and Hyundai Motor Group includes five strategic aimsCollaborating on the technology development and requirements of power and propulsion systems for Hyundai’s Advanced Air Mobility DivisionCollaborating on the industrialisation of Rolls-Royce power and propulsion systems for the Advanced Air Mobility marketDevelopment of electric propulsion systems based upon hydrogen fuel cells as an energy source for Hyundai’s RAM platformsCollaborating to bring to market a joint fuel-cell electric propulsion system to the wider AAM marketDelivering a joint fuel-cell electric aircraft demonstration by 2025The benefits of using a hydrogen fuel cell system in an all-electric aircraft propulsion system is that it is a zero-emission, silent and reliable on-board power source that enables scalability in power offerings as well as long distance flight range. Hyundai will work with Rolls-Royce to bring hydrogen fuel cells, storage systems and infrastructure to the aerospace markets, and advance this technology into Hyundai’s RAM vehicles and Rolls-Royce all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion system offerings.
