Rolls-Royce has revealed plans for a record breaking elecrtic plane capable of reaching 300mph.
勞斯萊斯正在計劃開發(fā)能達(dá)到破紀(jì)錄的每小時300英里的電動飛機(jī)。

Called Accel, the firm hopes it will take to the skies next year to claim a world record.
勞斯萊斯將飛機(jī)取名為Accel，希望能在明年試飛并打破世界記錄。

The current record for an all-electric plane, set by Siemens in 2017, is 210 mph - which the Accel could smash.
目前，最快行駛記錄是由Siemens全電動飛機(jī)在2017年達(dá)到的210英里每小時。Accel將有希望打破這一紀(jì)錄。

Scheduled to take to the skies over Great Britain in 2020, the aircraft will reach a speed of 300 mph – and quite likely more – making it the fastest all-electric plane in history.
Accel計劃于2020年在英國試飛，預(yù)估的速度將達(dá)到300英里每小時-并且有希望超過這個速度，如果能達(dá)到預(yù)期，Accel將是歷史上最快的全電動飛機(jī)。

The project is part of a Rolls-Royce initiative called ACCEL – short for 'Accelerating the Electrification of Flight,'intended to boost sales of electric planes - powered by Tolls-Royce engines.
電動飛機(jī)的開發(fā)是ACCEL（加速電動化航空的縮寫）計劃的一部分，該計劃致力于在Tolls-Royce發(fā)動機(jī)的幫助下增加電動飛機(jī)的銷售量。

The firm says it will 'pioneer a third wave of aviation'.
勞斯萊斯說這將領(lǐng)導(dǎo)第三波航空熱。

'This plane will be powered by a state-of-the-art electrical system and the most powerful battery ever built for flight,' said Matheu Parr, the ACCEL Project Manager for Rolls-Royce.
“這架飛機(jī)將有最高端的電子系統(tǒng)和最持久的飛機(jī)電能供應(yīng)，” 勞斯萊斯的ACCEL的項目經(jīng)理馬修帕爾這么說道。

'In the year ahead, we're going to demonstrate its abilities in demanding test environments before going for gold in 2020 from a landing strip on the Welsh coastline.'
“未來的一年，我們將在2020年的威爾士海岸正式挑戰(zhàn)世界紀(jì)錄之前，展示在苛刻的測試環(huán)境下仍能保持優(yōu)秀表現(xiàn)的能力”

The project will be based at Gloucestershire airport outside of Cheltenham.
這個項目的基地設(shè)在切爾滕納姆以外的格洛斯特郡機(jī)場。

Engineers, designers, and data specialists from Roll-Royce are working with electric motor and controller manufacturer YASA and the aviation start-up Electroflight to create the single-seater prop-plane.
勞斯萊斯的工程師，設(shè)計師以及數(shù)據(jù)分析師將和電動機(jī)及控制器生產(chǎn)商YASA和新興的Eletroflight航空公司合作來開發(fā)能承載一人的樣本飛機(jī)。
