Anyone know what these #jetengines are at the Restoration Yard at the Pima #Air and #Space Museum? They look like #RollsRoyce #engines for a modern #airliner. Rolls-Royce is the world’s second-largest maker of aircraft engines. It expects to produce over 600 wide-body engines a year and should power over half of the world wide-body fleet within a few years, up from 22% a decade before. Rolls-Royce was the world's 16th largest defense contractor in 2011 and 2012. Rolls Royce liquidated its assets in 1971 but Margaret Thatcher. brought the company back in 1987. In 1995, Bill Clinton’s Defense Department allowed Rolls Royce to buy Allison Engine Company stating "deal between Allison Engine Co. and Rolls-Royce does not endanger national security." Boeing uses Rolle Royce Trent Engines for its 787. On 17 January 2008, a British Airways Boeing 777-236ER lost power in both Trent 800 engines during the aircraft's final approach.
