Many people know that Ukrainian engines are good, but this British Rolls-Royce aero-engine company is more advanced in technology and has produced countless top engines. This company is also the largest aero-engine enterprise in Europe and one of the three largest aero-engine manufacturers in the world. Rolls-Royce is also a century-old shop, with gas turbine technology as the core, active in civil aviation, national defense, shipping and energy.
If Boeing and Airbus are duopoly in trunk passenger aircraft field, then General Electric and Rolls-Royce are a pair of predators in trunk passenger aircraft engine market. It turns out that Rolls-Royce has developed a fuel-saving engine for Boeing, which is said to save 20% of the fuel cost. However, rolls royce withdrew from the Boeing NMA passenger plane plan on the grounds that the development process was not synchronized, which means that it is difficult for rolls royce to get out of the predicament in a short time.
In recent years, the development of Rolls-Royce Company is not very smooth. In 20 14, it was reported that Rolls-Royce planned to lay off 2,600 people in the next 18 months to cut costs. In addition, the "Da Rui 1000" series engine equipped on Boeing 787 has failed many times since 20 16. The main reason is that the engine blades cracked, which eventually led to the grounding of a large number of Boeing 787s. This incident also cast a veil between Rolls-Royce and Yin Bo.
Although the Airbus S350XWB aircraft is also equipped with Rolls-Royce engines, the orders are not satisfactory. Undoubtedly, this series of problems are all factors that accelerate the decline of Rolls-Royce business volume.
However, it is reported that rolls royce has held many discussions with relevant engine manufacturers in China, and plans to provide engine solutions for the long-range wide-body aircraft CR929 of Comac China, and further participate in the bidding for this type of aircraft engine. Rollo even said that if an agreement is reached, the company will set up an aircraft engine assembly line in China.
