F130

Rolls-Royce North America and our American workforce are poised and ready to support the B-52 Re-Engining Program, with F130 engines that will be manufactured in the United States. 

We have a long and successful history as a propulsion provider for the U.S. Department of Defense. We’re proud to build on that relationship, and to continue delivering world-class, American-made propulsion systems to give the nation’s war fighters the absolute best technology edge.
