Allison Advanced Development Company (AADC) has formally changed its name to Rolls-Royce North American Technologies. This new name is part of a broad strategy to re-position the company as a full service advanced technology and systems solution provider in North America.

Going forward, Rolls-Royce North American Technologies will be known informally and in industry circles as LibertyWorks™.

The name LibertyWorks was derived from the company history with the AE 1107C-Liberty engine that powers the V-22 Osprey - as well as the name of the first aero engine built at our Indianapolis facility. Rolls-Royce will carry on AADC’s heritage as a well-known and respected partner for advanced research and development in the US defense industry.

Through LibertyWorks, Rolls-Royce will continue to develop and demonstrate technology for advanced gas turbine propulsion and power systems including: high temperature turbine and combustion systems; fans and compressors; and exhaust systems. Our primary vision is to be an agile, entrepreneurial team excelling at developing innovative, affordable power systems enabling Rolls-Royce to provide game-changing solutions for our customers.

As specialists in defense and defense-related products for various U.S. Government agencies, LibertyWorks has demonstrated its dedication in the Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) initiative, Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engine (VAATE) program, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, and other man-rated engine projects as well as expendable engine programs. Innovative solutions and proven capabilities make LibertyWorks a world leader in high technology propulsion and power.
