Vision Strategy Conceives Engines For The 2030s
Under its Vision program, Rolls-Royce is working on its future Advance and UltraFan engine technologies.
Performance analysis is under way on Rolls-Royce’s carbon-titanium fan at its Bed 61 in Berlin. The ongoing trials will effectively serve as back-to-back validation testing for comparison with titanium fan blades.

Rolls-Royce is pursuing its Vision strategy with a raft of future engine concept studies stretching forward more than 20 years. Under the strategy, which was first unveiled in early 2014, work is under way on a rolling program of technologies to meet expected requirements in what the manufacturer terms “exciting times ahead,” according to civil large engines future-programs chief engineer Phil Curnock.
