The European Commission has selected Rolls-Royce to lead the development of two engine demonstrators as part of the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative to accelerate the delivery of cleaner and quieter engine technologies.
Rolls-Royce will receive up to EUR53 million from the European Commission and benefit from the work of partners valued at EUR82 million over seven years to 2015.
The two demonstrators will enhance the development of new technologies for the next generation of narrow and wide-body aircraft engines. These will help Rolls-Royce to meet the demands of its customers by reducing CO2, NOx and noise emissions and reducing the time it takes to bring them to market.
