Rolls-Royce fully electric aircraft, the Spirit of Innovation, took to the skies for the first time in September. Now, only two months later, the company says that the airplane managed to break multiple records that highlight its impressive capabilities, including a speed record that took it to 387,4 mph (623 kph).

Well done POD!

Love the way it looks like a futuristic S.6B - albeit without the floats.
What a rocket ship.
