In response, at the end of 2021 Rolls-Royce announced it would be working with Japanese IHI Corporation to develop and deliver a future fighter engine demonstrator. The joint engine demonstrator programme, which is currently underway, is meant to bring together complementary British and Japanese technologies that will drive cleaner, next-generation power and propulsion for both nations' future fighter requirements. Moreover, Rolls-Royce has developed a demonstrator engine (Orpheus) which will support the rapid development, demonstration and production of key future engine capabilities. The Orpheus engine demonstration is intended to prove process as well as provide a potential route to market in this area. In addition to considering established factors such as minimising heat generation and maximising range and fuel economy, the company is working on integrating an electric power generation module into the core line of the engine which will massively increase the amount of electric power available on the aircraft. These initiatives fit into Rolls-Royce's plans to minimise the carbon footprint of its engines, with efforts to use sustainable aviation fuel, exploit hydrogen fuel and even adopt all-electric engines. It is important to note, however, that how much of this will find its way into Tempest is still very uncertain given the thrust levels required of combat aircraft.", "attrs": null, "subkind": "paragraph", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "36bc4db1-2ac5-47d7-82ed-fbd6a226da03", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.06, "w": 0.75, "x": 0.125, "y": 0.26 }, "kind": "paragraph", "text": "FOR TEMPEST TO succeed, it must push forward the boundaries of some current technologies, and the four core industrial partners cover the key (but not all) areas of technological and engineering advancement that will be needed.", "attrs": null, "subkind": "paragraph", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "40afb909-7efa-4503-9ceb-078a03241951", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.2, "w": 0.75, "x": 0.125, "y": 0.72 }, "kind": "source-note", "text": "17.
