西门子向罗罗出售eAircraft部门 也就是航空电推业务
Siemens and Rolls-Royce signed an agreement on June 18, 2019 at the International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget (France) for the sale of Siemens\' eAircraft unit. Closing is subject to the usual conditions and is expected to take place in late 2019.
签署协议：罗罗将收购eAircraft
促进可持续航空运输的发展
罗罗打算成为航空电推进和混合电力推进系统的领导者
西门子将通过其数字解决方案业务组合继续促进数字航空
预计2019年年底前交易完成
西门子与罗罗讯息：当地时间18日，西门子公司和罗尔斯罗伊斯公司在法国布林歇举行的巴黎国际航空展上签署了一项协议，出售西门子公司的电动飞机部门。西门子打算通过其VISION 2020+公司战略，加强其投资组合的重点。
西门子公司(Siemens AG)技术长兼首席运营官Roland Busch表示：“我们的电动飞机团队在弗兰克·安东(Frank Anton)的领导下，在过去十年中多次创造了航空史，是飞机电气和混合电力系统的先驱。”“有了罗罗，我们已经为这一业务找到了一个完美的家，并将其专业能力置于空客的亲密合作伙伴手中。我们将继续与罗罗合作，特别是通过提供我们的数字解决方案业务组合，这是朝着可持续、低排放航空迈出的重要一步。”
罗罗电气化总监Rob Watson表示：“电气化将为航空业带来深远影响，就好比当初燃气涡轮替代活塞发动机。我们正处于第三代航空业的初期，向着更安静、清洁的空中旅行进步。收购西门子eAircraft业务将补充罗罗的电推技术和技能，帮助我们大规模开发混合动力和推进系统。”
作为一家拥有约180名员工的内部初创公司，西门子eAircraft为航空航天工业开发电力和混合电力推进系统。在德国慕尼黑、Erlangen和布达佩斯(匈牙利)等地，该部门一直在与空中客车(Airbus)等合作伙伴合作，为额定功率从10万千瓦到数千千瓦的推进系统制造原型-例如为空中客车(Airbus)的空中计程车、城市空客(CityAirbus)。为了进一步推动这项技术，eAircraft于2016年与空中客车公司(Airbus)建立了开发伙伴关系。西门子已经研究和开发了大约十年的电动飞机推进系统，在此过程中创造了几项记录。
纯电或全电推进器将在不远的将来用于助力小型飞行器，而大型飞机将依靠混合电动解决方案。eAircraft团队和罗罗团队此前通过E-Fan X验证专案已有共事。结合罗罗在轨道交通和微电网等领域开发和积累的混合电动技术和西门子eAircraft团队能力，将有助于航空行业加速实现未来电气化战略。
罗罗在推进电动飞行方面已经取得诸多进展，可用于混合电动垂直起降EVTOL、通用航空飞机和混动直升机的混电推进系统成功进行地面测试。这是世界最复杂综合的混合航空涡轮发动机开发和整合专案，为2021年试验铺平道路。
Siemens sells electric aircraft-propulsion business to Rolls-Royce
Munich, 2019-Jun-18
Siemens and Rolls-Royce signed an agreement today at the International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget (France) for the sale of Siemens\' eAircraft unit. Through its Vision 2020+ company strategy, Siemens intends to sharpen its portfolio\'s focus. For this reason, the company\'s business with electric and hybrid-electric systems for aircraft will have substantially better growth perspectives with new owners closely connected to the aerospace industry. Closing is subject to the usual conditions and is expected to take place in late 2019. The partners have agreed not to disclose the financial details of the transaction.
"Our eAircraft team, under the leadership of Frank Anton, has made aviation history several times in the past ten years and is a pioneer in electric and hybrid-electric systems for aircraft," said Roland Busch, CTO and COO of Siemens AG. "With Rolls-Royce, we\'ve found a perfect home for this business and have placed its expertise in the hands of one of Airbus\' close partners. We will continue to cooperate with Rolls-Royce, in particular by making our digital solutions portfolio available in order to facilitate this major step toward sustainable, lower-emission aviation."
As an in-house startup with around 180 employees, Siemens eAircraft develops electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems for the aerospace industry. At locations in Munich and Erlangen (Germany) and Budapest (Hungary), the unit has been cooperating with partners like Airbus to create prototypes for propulsion systems with power ratings ranging from less than one hundred to several thousand kilowatts – for instance for the Airbus air taxi, the CityAirbus. To further drive the technology, eAircraft entered a development partnership with Airbus in 2016. Siemens has been researching and developing electric aircraft propulsion systems for about ten years, setting several records along the way.
