AIRBUS AND Rolls-Royce have abandoned the E-Fan X project to test a BAE Systems Avro RJ100 with a hybrid-electric powerplant, which was due to fly from Cranfield, Bedfordshire in 2020. Airbus chief technology officer Grazia Vittadini said: "Decarbonising the aviation industry is no small feat. To achieve this, we need to refocus all our efforts on technology 'bricks' that will take us there. As with all ground-breaking research and technology projects, it's our duty to constantly evaluate and reprioritise to ensure alignment with our ambitions." Vittadini continued: "When we launched the E-Fan X project in 2017, we set out with the ambition to push the limits by testing disruptive technologies in a game-changing approach to future aircraft... Over the past three years, each successful E-Fan X milestone has offered us rich insights for the future."
