FIA2024 REVISITED: eVTOL Insights speaks to Olaf Otto, President at Rolls-Royce Electrical

In this inter­view, eVTOL Insights’ Exec­u­tive Edi­tor Jason Pritchard hears from Olaf on the work Rolls-Royce is doing in elec­tric avi­a­tion and gets his assess­ment of the glob­al mar­ket.

Olaf talks about where he sees the indus­try scal­ing up in the ear­ly stages and where the chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties might lie. We go into detail about the crawl-walk-run approach and the cur­rent pow­er require­ments of bat­ter­ies, as well as the work Rolls-Royce is cur­rent­ly doing with its part­ners.

And relat­ing to the theme of ‘Pio­neers of Tomor­row’, we ask Olaf how work­ing in an Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty envi­ron­ment ben­e­fits an avi­a­tion career.
