Rolls-Royce understands Korea's goal of
becoming an aerospace industry country and
assists in its development in several ways.
It purchases engine components manufactured
by Samsung Techwin, both civil and military,
such as the Trent 900 combustor and Adour
combustion liners and enables Samsung Techwin
to gain engine know-how through their maintenance
of the T56, Gem and Model 250 engines in
Korea.
However, to instill a deep understanding
of the technologies of aero engines, Rolls-Royce
has engaged in joint research projects,
with Korea Institute of Machinery and Metals
and Korea Aerospace Research Institute.
In 2006, It has signed a joint technology
research and development collaboration agreement
for technological corporation with Pusan
National University and Busan Metropolitan
City to develop ultra-efficient, ultra light
weight heat exchangers, to be applied to
aircraft and ship engines and energy systems.
Following this, Rolls-Royce has strengthened
its technology and manufacturing collaboration
with Korea, through a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with DongHwa Entec Co. Ltd., Korean
small-medium company in Busan.
Besides assisting in the development of
Korea's technology resources, Rolls-Royce
contributes to the education and training
of Korean scholars, through post graduate
scholarships to Imperial College, London,
The Welding Institute, Cambridge, and Cranfield
University's Business school and through
an intern programme for Pusan University
undergraduates in its UK headquarter.
