About
Rolls-Royce is an engineering company that designs, manufactures, and services power and propulsion systems for civil aviation, defense, and energy markets. Its 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.
