Rolls-Royce has been awarded sub-contracts valued at around $200million, thanks to selection of Boeing and Lockheed Martin for the Concept Demonstrator Phase of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) programme.
These contracts, with Allison Advanced Development (AAD) and Rolls-Royce Military Aero Engines (RRMAE), cover engineering services and the supply of components related to the STOVL (short take-off and vertical landing) capabilities of the Demonstrator aircraft. In addition, the two divisions have teamed with General Electric to develop the F-120 alternative main propulsion engine for JSF.
