Boeing‘s subsidiary Aviall has signed a sales and distribution agreement to offer a suite of Rolls-Royce-made engines to the defense sector.
Aviall will market AE 2100 turboprop, AE 3007 turbofan and AE 1107C turboshaft engine variants that are designed to power multiple types of military aircraft, Boeing said Thursday.
Eric Strafel, Aviall president and CEO, said the company seeks to help increase material availability, service response and fleet preparedness for aircraft operators through the partnership with Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce’s defense engines currently power C-130J, C-27J, ShinMaywa US-2, V-22 Osprey, Global Hawk and Triton aircraft platforms.
Boeing noted that Aviall also currently provides worldwide service and support for the engine manufacturer’s T56, M250 and RR300 products.
