Does look as if the drop below 440p now has about 445/6 as resistance, not support. Seems to have been playing around with this for a while, so hopefully soon to be broken again.

Sometimes I wonder if Turfan is just flying on the coat tails of Warren East because such a quick turaround can only be attributed in the main to the groundwotk of his predecessor, I am really not sure he understands the Airline industry.

RR attitude to the B787 is really frustrating, you would have thought they would have bust a gut to hold onto their most loyal customer, hugely disappointing.

I am too as a shareholder. The FTSE 100 engine maker is seeing strong demand in its Defence division due to a tragically warring world, while growth in its Civil Aerospace business is being driven by recovering global travel.Profits are growing, margins are expanding, and the balance sheet is suddenly much less of a concern. So, it's certainly not unreasonable to expect further share price growth over time.However, it's also important to remember that Rolls-Royce can be a very volatile stock. It's had multiple 50%+ share price declines over the past quarter of a century.Here are some noticeable ones:Between July 2001 and March 2003, the stock bombed 70%November 2007-November 2008: -51%December 2013-Novemeber 2015: -50%May 2019-October 2020: -87%October 2021-October 2022: -51%When we zoom out, volatility like this is actually fairly common in investing. We don't know when the next massive drawdown in the Rolls-Royce share price will happen. It could be next week or next year. Or perhaps 2030. But history suggests another is coming at some point.Non-linear progress hints at volatilityRolls-Royce's CEO Tufan Erginbilgiç has set out some ambitious profitability targets to be achieved by 2027.Source: Rolls-RoyceCurrently, the company is on track to deliver these. However, it has also warned that this trend will be "progressive, but not necessarily linear".So far under Erginbilgiç, progress has arguably been linear. But he's repeatedly warned about "geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures". Any or all of these issues could worsen and quickly send the stock into reverse.The waiting gameCharlie Munger famously said: "The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting."Unfortunately, the waiting part can also be the hardest because there's the inevitable rollercoaster ride of emotions that come with it. I need to keep in mind that Rolls-Royce stock has declined significantly multiple times on the road to considerable gains. It could easily plunge again, so I have to be ready for that.But assuming nothing fundamentally alters the growth story, my plan would be to keep holding through the next downturn, and even be ready to buy more shares.

IAG has selected GE Aerospace GEnx engines to power six new Boeing 787s for British Airways, marking the first time the carrier has opted for the powerplant on its Dreamliners.

A big reputational hit for RR. IAG following in the footsteps of ANZ by abandoning Rolls for GE for top up Dreamliner engine orde

Sadly RR rapidly losing market share for supply of Trent 1000 engines.

An interesting article about the proposed Tempest. Whilst the report mentions RR as a contributor it does not state in what capacity. I would guess it's the power plant though. MBDA is mentioned in respect of missiles. This is the remains of Hawker Siddeley's site in Lostock, that then became British Aerospace before closing down and moving 7-8 miles south west to MBDA near junction 4 M61.

My wife worked at Hawker Siddeley's in the late 1970's. Test pilot I presume ;-)

A good point thegrafter. Then I thought about my recent Solar Panel Feed-in Tarif payment that is, and has been, handled by EDF for some 13 years now.

This last payment was late and made to me by a cheque - remember those? They apologised and explained they were having problems with the BACS processing having moved to a new computer system.

This is the same EDF who is building the monster known as Hinckley. Fortunately, Somerset is far enough away from Lancashire.

MC I think the big question to ask is would you rather have a SMR built by Rolls Royce near to you or built by someone else ? which would give you more reassurance regards safety ? I know what my preference would be , and most people in this country would associate the highest standards of engineering and reliability with Rolls Royce . PR is as important with this technology as the technology itself !

[mcunliffe1] 22/7/2024 11:27

I was curious to know how a micro reactor works in space. The video I watched was both informative and perhaps worrying.



My worry lies in the competition RR may encounter in the next year or two should this government drag its feet in awarding RR the SMR test build contract.

Radiant is one of the competitors:



I have to say, I am impressed by the concept of a factory manufactured and fuelled device, deliverable on a large flat-bed truck to a site and be operational 24 hours later.

[vikingwarrier] 22/7/2024 11:25

RR should go it alone with thE narrow body jet.

Seems that Rolls is building in some future proofing as aviation will move to cleaner more efficient solutions.

Modified Pearl 15 ‘on track’ for hydrogen testing later this year


Rolls-Royce is on course to perform ground runs later this year of a Pearl 15 business jet engine adapted to run on gaseous hydrogen.

UK-headquartered Rolls-Royce has already completed a series of system and component tests that will pave the way towards the full engine trials.

These include hydrogen tests of an annular combustor from a Pearl 700 last year, and earlier work on fuel nozzles and actuation. The project also builds on the November 2022 ground runs of an AE 2100 turboprop on gaseous hydrogen.

Simon Burr, Rolls-Royce group director of engineering, says the project is “all coming together – we are on track”.

Runs of the 15,125lb (67kN)-thrust Pearl 15 burning gaseous hydrogen will take place “later this year”, he told a pre-Farnborough air show briefing on 11 July: “We are all set to run.”

“I’m confident we’ll execute on this. Hydrogen likes to burn – it’s not combusting it that’s the problem,” he adds. Challenges include changes to how the engine is shut down, he says, with nitrogen purging seen as a likely solution.

Further out, if liquid rather than gaseous hydrogen is used then “heat-exchanger technology becomes the most challenging bit.

“But we are just going carefully, because what we need to do is see what the market wants,” says Burr.

“There’s no point getting too far ahead of the market. What we are trying to do is make sure we are ahead and understand the technology challenges but we are not going to forge ahead and put something on the shelf if people don’t want it.”

However, he points out that “at least 50%” of the technology being developed for the hydrogen demonstrator also has a use on conventional gas turbines: “It’s not all unique to hydrogen.”

Rolls-Royce’s German unit, which makes the Pearl 15, is also leading a Clean Aviation-funded project that is charged with developing the technologies necessary to run a modern turbine engine on liquid hydrogen.

Called CAVENDISH, the initiative kicked off in January 2023 and runs until December 2026. Besides Rolls-Royce, the 19-strong consortium working on the project includes airframers Dassault Aviation, Embraer and Fokker Next Gen.

In addition to the ground-test activity, CAVENDISH will also work on “system and powerplant aircraft integration” and “define certification pathways and formulate a route to permit to fly”, according to Clean Aviation project documents. Flight testing could take place in Clean Aviation’s second phase, in the years after 2026.

“Our programme targets the delivery of mature technology in time to support potential future airframe decisions and be ready to serve as preparation for, and feed into, Clean Aviation Phase 2 which is currently in the configuration phase,” says Rolls-Royce.

Having three airframers as part of the project means it is “well placed to allow all consortium members the ability to consider the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen propulsion at platform level”.

Yes, I get all that, which are markets we are already involved in. Real volume will come by taking a slice of the CFM/P&W duopoly on narrow bodies, where Ultrafan will provide a superior third option, as well as a more fuel efficient option for wide bodies.
