It might make sense in the short-term but #RollsRoyce's decision to sell of their #electric air engines division to focus on enhancing the profitability of their jet engine business is nuts!
If we had an industrial policy focussed on the #greetranstion, we might hope they would have been encouraged to do exactly the opposite.
If flying is to continue in a #climatecrisis, then e-air engines must be how it will be power (surely?).
