founded in 1906, the Rolls-Royce group specialized in the manufacture of aircraft engines until the end of the Second World War. Rolls-Royce diversified in the post-war period, becoming the leading manufacturer of aircraft gas turbines following the introduction of its revolutionary turbine on a British fighter in 1944.
The parent company has 5 subsidiaries abroad. Rolls Royce is the market leader in medium-power gas turbines for the transport industry. In the navy, more than 20 countries use Rolls-Royce turbines as propulsion systems for their navies. Rolls-Royce maintains more than 1,000 turbines currently in operation. In aviation, Rolls-Royce consolidates its historic position with flagship products such as the Trent XWB (engine for the A350).
Rolls Royce acquires Allison Engine Company in 2000 to consolidate its position in the aviation turbine and thruster market. In the late 2000s, Rolls-Royce was one of the first companies to introduce hourly pricing, including maintenance.
The company is headed worldwide by Warren East.
