Rolls-Royce has a pitch for the U.S. Air Force: Pick the BR725 \u2014 a variant of the F130 that powers the E-11 and C-37 aircraft \u2014 to replace the B-52\u2019s aging engines, and the company will set up a new F130 final assembly and testing to the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe F130 family of engines that we\u2019re proposing for the propulsion modernization is already a mostly U.S.-made product, and we\u2019re going to take the final step in bringing the assembly and test of that to the U.S., should this program go forward,\u201d Tom Hartmann, Rolls-Royce\u2019s senior vice president of customer business, said during a Sept. 14 briefing with reporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

All things considered, the company’s\u00a0announcement is a little premature. The Air Force still has not decided whether to pursue a program of record for replacing the Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3\/103 engines, eight of which are used to power one Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. However, industry remains hopeful that a program will move forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rolls-Royce is the first engine manufacturer to announce its offering for B-52 engine modernization; however, media had speculated that it would likely choose one of the engines in its BR-700 family, which is called F130 in military parlance.<\/p>\n
