Indianapolis-based Allison Advanced Development (AADC) has changed its name to Rolls-Royce North American Technologies.
The company has restructured and improved its programme management tools and processes to enable it to better handle large projects, says chief operating officer Ron York. “We want to be known as a storefront for advanced R&D and technology programmes, able to provide front-end technical services across all Rolls-Royce businesses,” he says.
The company says it will also use the name LibertyWorks for marketing purposes, after the AE1107 engine that powers the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor as well as the first aeroengine ever built at the site.
