Supplier
Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce is an engineering company that designs, manufactures, and services power and propulsion systems for civil aviation, defense, and energy markets.
About Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce's U.S. defense business supplies aircraft engines, naval gas turbines, and lifecycle support used by military customers and other platform primes. Named U.S. applications include the C-130, V-22 Osprey, and MQ-25, alongside development programs such as MV-75 and B-52 CERP. The company’s North American headquarters is in Reston, Virginia; Indianapolis is a major defense engine manufacturing, assembly, and test campus. Rolls-Royce also has broad U.S. power-systems operations, so companywide activity should not be equated with defense revenue.
