I think the world is slowly trying to cut down emissions by taking small steps, like how Rolls-Royce made the fastest electric plane, which would make the planet a better place. However, the aircraft just went for a test, but, Sounds Air is hoping to fly passengers across Cook Strait in an all-electric plane by 2026, which I hope to come out soon, this is because it will encourage other airline companies to use all-electric planes and reduce greenhouse gases.

Rolls-Royce has broken the record for the fastest all-electric plane aircraft. The aircraft, 'Spirit of Innovation', has hit the top speed of 623km/h during its test runs in the UK last week.
The Rolls-Royce CEO, Warren East, says that it is a "fantastic achievement".
Warren East said that “following the world’s focus on the need for action at COP26, this is another milestone that will help make ‘jet zero’ a reality and supports our ambitions to deliver the technology breakthroughs society needs to decarbonise transport across air, land and sea.”
Phill O'Dell, the pilot, said that it was the highlight of his career. “The opportunity to be at the forefront of another pioneering chapter of Rolls-Royce’s story as we look to deliver the future of aviation is what dreams are made of.”
The airline, Sounds Air expects to fly passengers across Cook Strait in electric planes by 2026 and aims to become the first in Australasia to offer customers zero-emission air travel.
