Rolls-Royce receives $315 million contract to supply lift system technology

Issue No. 11 | June 01-15, 2012

Rolls-Royce has received a contract for $315 million from Pratt & Whitney to supply the Rolls-Royce lift system for 17 F-35B Lightning II aircraft.

Rolls-Royce is the only company in the world to produce the advanced technology that enables F-35B aircraft to perform short take-off and vertical landings (STOVL), and that provides increased mission flexibility.

Neil Mehta, Rolls-Royce LiftSystem Programme Director, said, “Rolls-Royce continues to focus on increasing efficiency as we provide this vital capability to the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter programme. We anticipate continuous cost improvements as production volumes ramp up to meet the needs of the F-35 programme.”

The LiftSystem comprises a Rolls-Royce liftfan, roll posts and a 3-bearing swivel module.
