Title: Full size electric speed record set at 345.4 mph by RR "Spirit of Innovation"

Neat video about the RollsRoyce "Spirit of Innovation" setting an electric speed record of 345 mph in level flight on November 16, 2021.  The design looks like an update of the Sharp Nemesis (added in the small jpeg photo.)


Of note is the sleekness of the airframe design, the small tail feathers and how it flies with almost a tail-low attitude.  It may be fooling our eyes.
I could not have been involved in the project.  The shop and the surroundings are waaayyyy too clean and uncluttered. ;)
