RR. Overview

Aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce powers both military and civil aircraft. Power generating turbines is the third leg of the business. The company, once famous for its prestige motor cars, sold the car business to Vickers in 1980, but retained the rights to the brand name. These rights were transferred to Germany’s Volkswagen in 1998 and then passed on to BMW in 2003.
