Is Rolls Royce about to enter a golden era in aviation? Are you in for the long haul?29 Aug 2020 14:08
The most interesting thing I found in the recent RNS (2020 Half Year Results) was Rolls Royce increasing their position in “Reaction Engines”!
“On 18 May 2020, the Group entered into an agreement to increase its shareholding in Reaction Engines Ltd by 8.1% to 10.1%”
With Boeing and Bae Systems already heavily Invested In Reaction Engines is there a pattern forming?
Despite clear Issues induced by Covid-19 and its monumental financial impact on RR, could the UK governments Golden ticket working in tandem with the United States government and Rolls Royce’s clear vision for the future indicate the most likely outcome for this business?
Is RR positioning themselves to be the worlds supplier of the hypersonic engine that will transform the Aviation & Space Sector and amongst other achievements London to New York in less than 90 minutes?
In the post Covid-19 era, surely 90 minutes from London to New York is preferable to 8 to 10 hours?
Moreover, Is it really possible to achieve Zero Carbon Emissions using clean fuels such as Hydrogen & hybrid electrical systems instead of Jet Fuel for a carbon and guilt free Aviation sector to completely remove dependence on fossil fuels?
With potential developments in planning with Boeing, Virgin Galactic, Boom Aerospace, Bae Systems to mention just a few, in addition to various military & Space applications such as Skylon:
Is a clean and bright future for the Aviation & Space Sectors spearheaded by Rolls Royce’s role to manufacture these engines a distinct possibility?
Ultimately, please do your own research but it does appear that the worlds biggest players in the Aviation and Space Sectors in addition to DARPA and the UK’s Ministry of defence are all taking orbital positions around Reaction Engines with a clear and unified vision in preparation for the clean hypersonic post Covid-19 era.
Perhaps the possibilities and impact of these plans on this & future generations, make these companies too big for us to allow them to fail?
