Many people know Rolls-Royce cars, but they don't know that Rolls-Royce is also the best engine manufacturer in the world. The famous Boeing airliner uses Rolls-Royce engines. The design and production of aircraft engines began in 19 15. In World War II, it was used to equip allied planes. After the war, it became the main producer of jet engines in Britain and one of the largest manufacturers of military and civil jet engines in the world. In February, 197 1 produced Rb-21jet engine for Lockheed. In the same year, debt losses led to bankruptcy. With the intervention of the British government, Rolls-Royce was divided into two companies: automobile and aero-engine. Its manufacturing departments of automobiles, diesel engines and general engines are still privately owned, and it is called Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Rolls royce Aeroengine Company's products are mainly aircraft engines, which can be used to assemble nearly 70 kinds of military and civil aircraft made in western countries.

During the period of 1990, Rolls-Royce had assets of 5.49 billion dollars and 64,000 employees. The company is headquartered in Derbyshire, Derbyshire.

These milestones also include the opening of a new ship equipment factory in Shanghai, the purchase of Trent engines for A380 and A330 aircraft, and the basic completion of the first phase of the West-East Gas Transmission Project.
