What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Rolls-Royce is seeking a UK government subsidy, potentially between £100 million and £200 million, to build and ground-test a demonstrator for its UltraFan 30 engine. The company has warned that if the UK government does not provide financial support, it may seek to develop its engine program in Germany or the US.

The engine program is a direct bid by Rolls-Royce to challenge the duopoly held by CFM International and Pratt & Whitney in the single-aisle jet engine market. The firm stated that a lack of financial support could be a major blow to UK growth ambitions.
