RR are also part of the competing nuscale team which is ahead of the game in that they already have a development contract with the US government for entry into service circa 2025.

Yes working as part of a Consortium -

Other larger projects of course in difficulty and so a possible opportunity?

Thank you sailing john.

I have never seen that before.

With all the bad news about new nuclear power stations, would it be economic for RR to build a chain of 'nuclear submarine' power plants.

How would they compare cost wise to full size power stations, including decommissioning costs?

Link provides details of developments in the business jet market including the potential for a larger engine which no doubt will cross over to the regional jet segment:

I've taken the carrot dangled in front of me this morning which on top of previous rises hit my target.


Good luck lads and lasses. It should now rise to about £10 :-)

Moving to a 2 yr high (Ignoring that dubious blip) I see the brokers have a huge variation in share price targets ; from 480 to 1030. Somebody is wrong .

Big risk take to buy Westinghouse, not sure RR is in a position to do that but wont be surprised if the French to do so.

[rogerrail] 15/3/2017 11:45

We need to wait and see if RR gets a look in on the the proposed B797 if it ever gets off the ground.
not sure why the indication is that RR will partner with P&W unless they are looking at a geared turbofan.



Also there is the potential for a further stretch of the A350 (designated A350-2000, hence another variant of the Trent XWB) to compete with the B777x but that would make the plane very long.

[dafrog] 15/3/2017 11:45

They want to sell.

[rogerrail] 15/3/2017 11:27

Westinghouse is owned by Toshiba

[dafrog] 15/3/2017 07:55

Buy Westinghouse?

[maxwellman62] 14/3/2017 16:33

Anyone got thoughts on where next?

[simongn] 02/3/2017 23:34

No chance, we don't have enough money to be able to do that.

We should at least be glad that they are made by UK based workers . . . at the moment.

[dafrog] 02/3/2017 07:07

Hope we can retrieve RR cars back from Germany post Brexit.

Top marks to Rolls-Royce for this;

[joemillion] 28/2/2017 21:29

Looking forward to seeing £8 breached tomorrow and then see a rapid rise to £9 plus by end of March.

[wiltshireram] 28/2/2017 18:24

Good trading volume today. Bodes well for further increases
