Typical political procrastination, and we think we are going to make a success of Brexit ? Fat chance if we don't invest in opportunities like this right now! UK Government are full of hot air, bullsh*t and failed promises as usual:

The consolation is that the A400 problems are due to a GE supplied part and all the liability for late delivery is with Airbus. Also they do have a resolution which was scheduled to be implemented in the next few months.

Ah , the tangled web of international consortia. I had lost track of who owned who.

Rolls is the biggest shareholder on the Europrop consortium supplying A400 engines having bought out ITP.

Whilst the A320 issues are hurting P&W , they are also hurting Airbus which is Rolls biggest customer. The main beneficiaries are Boeing, but more so GE who compete on the A320 and are single supplier to the B737.

Rival's problems are always good to hear....

Problems at Airbus' troubled A400M military aircraft programme are far from over, the company has warned.
There are still issues over "meeting contractual capabilities" securing export orders, cost cutting, and commercial exposure, Airbus says.
The firm added that technical problems with engines for its new A320neo aircraft were still to be resolved

Going forward one important bit of info to take on board from the Indonesian (Lion Air, Wings, Batik Air, Malindo Air, Thai Lion Air and Lion Bizjet) order is . . .

"The engines will be supported by the Rolls-Royce TotalCare."

. . . this secures future cash flow for Rolls Royce.

Added to the smaller order from Lion earlier this weak, should provide a $1.8 billion boost to the order book.

Well this news should give the shares a good boost tomorrow despite them trading ex the 7.1p divi.

China Southern Airlines has disclosed that it is ordering 20 Airbus A350-900 twinjets.

The airline revealed the agreement in a statement to the Shanghai stock exchange.

It says the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-powered aircraft are the subject of a purchase contract, valuing the deal at around $6 billion.

"The actual price will be significantly lower than the catalogue price," adds the airline.

China Southern operates a wide range of Airbus types from the A319 up to the A380, but has not previously ordered the A350.

It says the 20 aircraft will be delivered in stages with six arriving in 2019, another six in 2020, and four each arriving in 2021 and 2022.

Expect to see £9 plus by end of May.

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.

[sailing john] 13/4/2017 11:39

Yes working as part of a Consortium -

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

[willoicc] 13/4/2017 08:35

Thank you sailing john.

I have never seen that before.

[sailing john] 13/4/2017 08:01

Will for info -

[willoicc] 12/4/2017 22:45

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 :-)

[wad collector] 11/4/2017 12:48

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 .

Obviously Barclays Capital are not very good at stock price predictions lol

"Rolls-Royce to supply automatic crossing system to FosenNamsos Sjø

Rolls-Royce has signed its second deal for its automatic crossing system – it has inked a contract with Norwegian shipbuilder Kleven for it to be used for two new double-ended plug-in battery-hybrid ferries being built for Norwegian ferry company FosenNamsos Sjø.

The system will control the ferries as they cross the fjord between Flakk and Rørvik connecting the peninsula of Fosen with Trondheim."

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.
