INDIANAPOLIS - Rolls-Royce today announced that it has received a $23 million support services and spares contract from the U.S. Air Force for AE 2100D3 engines. The engines are installed on C-130J military transport aircraft intended for the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF).
This MissionCare contract is modeled after the USAF Power By The Hour contract to provide a comprehensive propulsion support package to the RNoAF on a per-engine flight-hour basis. The contract covers on-site technical support, maintenance support, training, provision of spare parts, supply replenishment with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the engine, and supply of an R391 Dowty propeller. The C-130 has been the U.S. Air Force's primary tactical transport and special mission aircraft since 1956, powered by Rolls-Royce T56 engines. The "J" version of the aircraft, powered by AE 2100D3 engines, continues that legacy.
