'''Rolls-Royce [[Public limited company|plc]]'''  ({{lse|RR.}}) is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[aircraft engine]] maker, and the second-largest in the world, behind [[GE Aviation]]. The company has related businesses in the defence aerospace, marine and energy markets.

[[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]] was nationalised in 1971, by which time aircraft engines had long been the most significant part of the business. The automobile company was separated in 1973 and the present Rolls-Royce plc was re-privatised in 1987. Rolls-Royce is, through its defence aerospace division, the world's 16th largest [[Defense contractor|defence contractor]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.defensenews.com/static/features/top100/charts/rank_2007.php?c=FEA&s=T1C |title=Top 100 Defense Contractors 2007| publisher=Defense News| accessdate=2009-02-05}}</ref> Defence aerospace sales accounted for 21% of group sales in 2005, civil aerospace 53%, marine 17% and energy 8%.<ref>Rolls-Royce (2005) ''Rolls-Royce Annual Report 2005''</ref>  It is listed on the [[London Stock Exchange]] and is a constituent of the [[FTSE 100 Index]].

==History==
[[Rolls-Royce Limited]] was founded in 1906 by [[Henry Royce]] and [[C.S. Rolls]], and produced its first aircraft engine in 1914. 

Around half the aircraft engines used by the [[Allies]] in [[World War I]] were made by Rolls-Royce. By the late 1920s, aero engines made up most of Rolls-Royce's business. Henry Royce's last design was the [[Rolls-Royce Merlin|Merlin]] aero engine, which came out in 1935 although he had died in 1933. This was a development subsequent to the [[Rolls-Royce R|R]] engine, which had powered a record-breaking [[Supermarine]] [[Supermarine S.6B|S6.B]] [[seaplane]] to almost 400mph in the 1931 [[Schneider Trophy]]. The Merlin powered many [[World War II]] [[aircraft]]: the British [[Hawker Hurricane]], [[Supermarine Spitfire]], [[De Havilland Mosquito]] (twin-engined), [[Avro Lancaster]] (4-engine), [[Vickers Wellington]] (2-engine); it also transformed the American [[P-51 Mustang]] into one of the best fighters of its time, its Merlin engine built by [[Packard]] under licence. Over 160,000 Merlin engines were produced.

In the post-[[World War II]] period Rolls-Royce made significant advances in [[gas turbine]] engine design and manufacture. The [[Rolls-Royce Dart|Dart]] and [[Rolls-Royce Tyne|Tyne]] [[turboprop]] engines were particularly important, enabling [[airline]]s to cut journey times within several continents, whilst [[jet airliner]]s were introduced on longer services. The Dart engine was used in [[Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy|Argosy]], [[Avro 748]] and its military variant the Andover, [[Fokker F27|Friendship]], [[Handley Page Dart Herald|Herald]] and [[Vickers Viscount|Viscount]] aircraft, whilst the more powerful Tyne powered the [[Breguet Atlantique|Atlantic]], [[Transall C-160|Transall]] and the [[Vickers Vanguard|Vanguard]]. Many of these turboprops are still in service.

Rolls-Royce engines had traditionally borne numeric designations during development and then were assigned the name of a British river on delivery. The use of river names was introduced with the earliest Rolls jet engines to reflect their nature: a steady flow of power rather than the pulses of a piston engine. RB stands for "Rolls [[Barnoldswick]]", the latter a major ex-[[Rover (car)|Rover]] facility bought by Rolls-Royce when it traded production of engines (the [[Rolls-Royce Meteor]]) for production of the first Whittle engines.

Amongst the jet engines of this period was the [[Rolls-Royce Spey|RB163 Spey]] which powers the [[Hawker Siddeley Trident|Trident]], [[BAC 1-11]], [[Grumman Gulfstream I]]I and [[Fokker F28]]. Military versions of the Spey powered the [[Blackburn Buccaneer|Buccaneer]] S2 for the [[RAF]], the [[F-4 Phantom II|Phantom F4K and F4M]], and the [[Hawker Siddeley Nimrod|Nimrod]]. The Spey was licence built by [[Allison Engine Company]] as the TF41 for the [[A-7 Corsair II]]. Other types of military engines produced in the second half of the 20th Century include the [[Rolls-Royce Avon|Avon]] and [[Armstrong Siddeley Viper|Viper]]; these engines powered many of the British Aircraft of this period. 

Also of this period was the [[Rolls-Royce Conway|Conway]], a low (by today's standards) bypass ratio turbofan which was used on some [[Boeing 707]]s and [[Douglas DC-8]]s, and all [[Vickers VC10]]s as well as on the MkII variant of the [[Handley Page Victor]] bomber for the RAF. 

During the late 1950s and '60s there was a significant rationalisation of the British aero-engine manufacturers, culminating in the merger of Rolls-Royce and [[Bristol Siddeley]] in 1966.  Bristol Siddeley, which had itself resulted from the merger of [[Armstrong Siddeley]] and Bristol in 1959, and with its principal factory at [[Filton]], near [[Bristol]], had a strong base in military engines, including the [[Rolls-Royce Olympus|Olympus]], which was chosen for [[Concorde]].

===Nationalisation & separation===
Having been selected as the sole engine supplier for the [[Lockheed L-1011]] (TriStar), Rolls-Royce committed heavily to the [[RB211]] engine, but its development was hampered by considerable problems and on [[February 4]] [[1971]] Rolls-Royce went into [[administrative receivership]]. To save the company, [[Edward Heath]]'s government [[nationalization|nationalised]] it. The automotive division was separated from the aircraft engine division in 1973 as [[Rolls-Royce Motors]] and sold to Vickers. A side-effect of this affair was a change in accounting regulations to forbid the capitalisation of expenditure on research. This practise had resulted in Rolls-Royce massively overstating its assets, thus disguising its financial difficulties until it was too late.

===Privatisation & expansion===
Rolls-Royce plc was privatised in 1987 under the government of [[Margaret Thatcher]]. The 1980s saw the introduction of a policy to offer an engine on every civil aircraft type, with the company's engines now powering 17 different airliners (and their variants) compared to [[General Electric]]'s 14 and [[Pratt & Whitney]]'s 10.

In 1988, Rolls-Royce acquired [[Northern Engineering Industries]] (NEI), a group of heavy engineering companies mainly associated with electrical generation and power management, based in the [[North East of England]]. The group included [[Clarke Chapman]] (Cranes), [[A. Reyrolle & Company|Reyrolle]] (now part of [[Siemens]]) and [[C. A. Parsons and Company|Parsons]] (now part of [[Siemens|Siemens Steam turbines]]). The company was renamed Rolls-Royce Industrial Power Group. It was sold off piecemeal over the next decade as the company re-focused on its core aero-engine operations following the recession of the early 1990s.

In [[1990 in aviation|1990]] [[BMW]] and Rolls-Royce established the [[BMW Rolls-Royce]] joint venture to produce the [[Rolls-Royce BR700|BR700]] range of engines for regional and corporate jets, the most recent of which is the newly announced BR725. [[BMW]] subsequently withdrew from the company, and Rolls-Royce took full control of it in 2000, renaming it [[Rolls-Royce Deutschland]].

===Allison acquisition===
In November 1994 Rolls-Royce announced its intention to acquire the [[Allison Engine Company]], an American manufacturer of gas turbines and components for aviation, industrial and marine engines. Rolls-Royce had previously tried to buy the company when [[General Motors]] sold it in 1993, but GM opted for a management buyout instead. Owing to Allison's involvement in classified and export restricted technology, the 1994 acquisition was subject to investigation to determine the national security implications. On 27 March 1995 the US Department of Defense announced that the ''"deal between Allison Engine Co. and Rolls-Royce does not endanger national security."''<ref>[http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/1995/b032795_bt151-95.html DoD is satisfied that deal between Allison Engine Co. and Rolls Royce does not endanger national security]</ref> Rolls-Royce was, however, obliged to set up a [[proxy board]] to manage Allison and had also to set up a separate company, [[Allison Advanced Development Company|Allison Advanced Development Company, Inc.]], to manage classified programmes ''"that involve leading-edge technologies".'' In 2000 this restriction was replaced by a more flexible [[Special Security Arrangement]].

The Allison acquisition brought four new engine types into the Rolls-Royce civil engine portfolio on seven platforms and several light aircraft applications. Allison is now known as [[Rolls-Royce Corporation]], part of [[Rolls-Royce North America]].

In [[1996 in aviation|1996]] Rolls-Royce and [[Airbus]] signed a [[Memorandum of Understanding]] specifying the [[Rolls-Royce Trent#Trent 900 Series|Trent 900]] as the engine of choice for the then A3XX, now called the [[Airbus A380]].

===1999 acquisitions===
Rolls-Royce spent £1.063 billion on acquisitions in 1999. These were interests of [[Cooper Energy Services]] (with the effect of making the [[Cooper Rolls]] joint venture a wholly owned subsidiary of Rolls-Royce), [[Vickers]], [[National Airmotive|National Airmotive Corporation]] and BMW's share of [[BMW Rolls-Royce]].

Rolls-Royce acquired [[Vickers plc]] for its marine businesses. Vickers had expanded this part of its business in the period leading up to the purchase, acquiring [[Kamewa]], a manufacturer of waterjets, in 1996, and [[Ulstein]], a major marine propulsion and engineering company, in 1998. Rolls-Royce sold Vickers Defence Systems (the other major Vickers area of business) to [[Alvis plc]] in 2002 which then became [[Alvis Vickers Ltd|Alvis Vickers]], then the largest armoured vehicle company in the UK.

Rolls-Royce has established a leading position in the corporate and [[regional airline]] sector through the development of the Tay engine, the Allison acquisition and the consolidation of the BMW Rolls-Royce joint venture. In 1999 BMW Rolls-Royce was renamed [[Rolls-Royce Deutschland]] and became a 100% owned subsidiary of Rolls-Royce plc.

[[Optimized Systems & Solutions]] (formerly known as Data Systems & Solutions) was founded in 1999 as a joint venture between Rolls-Royce plc and [[Science Applications International Corporation]] (SAIC).  In early 2006, SAIC exited the joint venture agreement, making Rolls-Royce plc the sole owner.

===Recent events===
On [[April 6]], [[2004]] [[Boeing]] announced that it had selected both Rolls-Royce and General Electric to power its new [[Boeing 787|787]]. Rolls-Royce submitted the [[Rolls-Royce Trent#Trent 1000 Series|Trent 1000]], a further development of that series. GE's offering is the [[General Electric GENX|GENX]], a development of the [[General Electric GE90|GE90]].

On [[June 13]] Rolls-Royce were awarded a £110m deal with the [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] to supply engines for its [[C-130 Hercules]] transport aircraft for the next 5 years.<ref>{{cite web|title=Penny Shares Online|url=http://www.pennysharesonline.com/News/Articles/724240.asp|author=|publisher=|date=[[2006-07-10]]|accessdate=2006-07-13}}</ref>

In July 2006, Rolls-Royce reached an agreement to supply a new version of the Trent for the revised [[Airbus A350]] (XWB) jetliner. Although details have yet to be released, it is likely that the so-called '''Trent XWB''' will be significantly larger than the [[Trent 1700]], basically a throttle-push of the Trent 1000 intended for the original A350 proposal.

In October 2006 Rolls-Royce suspended production of its [[Trent 900]] engine because of delays by [[Airbus]] on the delivery of the [[Airbus A380|A380]] superjumbo. Rolls-Royce announced in October 2007 that production of the Trent 900 had been re-started after a twelve month suspension caused by delays to the A380.<ref> {{cite news | title = Rolls-Royce settles into a launch groove for A380 | publisher = [[Flight International]] | date = [[October 15]], [[2007]] | url = http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/10/15/218490/rolls-royce-settles-into-a-launch-groove-for-a380.html | accessdate = 2007-10-17 }}</ref> The plant in [[Derby]], [[UK]] employs 11,000 workers and will continue to produce engines for [[Bombardier]], [[Boeing]], including those for the new 787 series and other Airbus aircraft such as the A330 and A340.

On the military side, Rolls-Royce has been (in cooperation with other European manufacturers) a major contractor for the [[Turbo-Union RB199|RB199]] which in several variants powers the [[Panavia Tornado]], and also for the [[Eurojet EJ200|EJ200]] engine for the [[Eurofighter Typhoon]]. Two modified RB199 engines also powered the [[British Aerospace EAP|EAP]] demonstrator which evolved into the Typhoon.

At the 2005 [[Paris Air Show]] Rolls-Royce secured in excess of $1 billion worth of orders. The firm received $800m worth of orders from [[Air China]] to supply its 20 [[Airbus]] [[Airbus A330|A330]] jets<ref>{{cite web|title=Air China at Paris Air Show|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4087624.stm|author=BBC|publisher=|date=[[2005-07-20]]|accessdate=2006-07-13}}</ref>.

On [[18 June]] [[2007]], Rolls-Royce announced at the 2007 Paris Air Show that it had signed its biggest ever contract with [[Qatar Airways]] for the Trent XWB to power 80 [[List of Airbus A350 orders|A350 XWBs on order]] from Airbus worth $5.6 billion at list prices.<ref> {{cite news | title = Rolls-Royce inks biggest-ever sale  | publisher = [[Flight International]] | date = [[June 19]], [[2007]] | url = http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/06/19/214880/rolls-royce-inks-biggest-ever-sale.html | accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref> On [[11 November]] [[2007]], another large contract was announced at the [[Dubai Airshow]] from [[Emirates Airline]] for Trent XWBs to power 50 A350-900 and 20 A350-1000 aircraft with 50 option rights. Due to be delivered from 2014, the order is potentially worth up to 8.4 billion US Dollars at list prices, including options.<ref> {{cite web | title = Emirates places $8.4bn order for Rolls-Royce Trent XWB | url = http://www.rolls-royce.com/media/showPR.jsp?PR_ID=40569 | accessdate = 2007-11-14 }}</ref>.
