Rolls-Royce wins US marine deal
FTSE 100-quoted aerospace giant Rolls-Royce yesterday said it has won a $90.1m (£54.2m) contract to produce engines for aircraft operated by the US Marine Corps. The deal includes 40 Rolls-Royce engines made for the Naval Air Systems Command in Maryland. “Continual innovation has led to increases in power, dependability and time on wing as we strive to anticipate and meet the mission needs of the US Marine Corps,” said Tom Bell, defence president.
