A new era of Anglo-French co-operation in military combat aircraft
technology has been underpinned by a bilateral contract placed with
Rolls-Royce and Snecma by the UK Ministry of Defence.
Announced on 30 July, the deal will enable joint venture company Rolls-Royce Snecma to "undertake studies into the next generation of UK and French combat aircraft engines", it says. This will include investigating whether to pursue "derivatives of existing military powerplants or the development of novel power and propulsion concepts" for a next-generation combat air vehicle, it adds.
While they are in rival camps in producing the Eurojet EJ200 and M88 turbofan engines for the Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale, Snecma vice-president and general manager, military engines Didier Desnoyer points to a "tradition of tight-knit partnership" with R-R. This has included products such as the Adour used in the BAE Systems Hawk advanced jet trainer and Anglo-French Sepecat Jaguar, and the Europrop International TP400-D6, which powers the Airbus Military A400M transport.
