As part of the MoU signature ceremony, a mock-up of a Wingman Engine concept was unveiled with the power and propulsion solution being presented to a wide audience at ILA Berlin Airshow. The MoU between Rolls-Royce Deutschland and ITP Aero will foster a German-Spanish approach, leveraging a long-lasting relationship between both companies that has spanned more than a decade.
The Wingman Engine is a European solution capable of meeting development and product cost requirements for various large remote carrier designs. The engine concept builds on the Advance2 core demonstrator – the most powerful and efficient core engine technology in its class – which currently powers commercial and military platforms. The Advance2 core, the backbone of the Pearl business jet engine family, has already proven its world-class competitiveness and has been selected to power five aircraft types from various manufacturers.
This defence application benefits from significant investments both companies have already made in civil and dual-use technologies, making it a cost-efficient European solution.
