Rolls-Royce has started AE1107F engine testing to support the U.S. Army’s MV-75 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program. Evaluation will be conducted at its manufacturing campus in Indianapolis, the company's largest facility in the U.S.

FLRAA was initiated in 2019 to develop a successor to the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk utility program, which has been in service since 1979. In December 2022, the U.S. Army selected the Rolls-Royce-powered Bell Textron V-280 for the FLRAA program, officially designating it the MV-75 (Multi-Mission Vertical Takeoff).
