Rolls-Royce is one step closer to powering the next generation aircraft for the U.S. Army. On August 2, the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) became an official program of record when the U.S. Army announced its Milestone B decision, moving the program, led by prime contractor Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, into the engineering and manufacturing development phase.
As part of Team FLRAA, Rolls-Royce will deliver a complete propulsion solution for the tiltrotor aircraft, featuring two AE 1107F engines and a fully integrated system design. The AE 1107F engine is the continued evolution of our proven AE engine family, providing the performance and reliability needed to power the transformational capabilities of FLRAA.
