TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) is confident about growth for its supply of parts to aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, reports said Friday (Sept. 17).
The Taiwan company’s products have been worked into the Pearl 700 engine powering the Gulfstream G700 private jet, CNA reported. Rolls-Royce expects demand for aircraft engines to double during 2022.
AIDC and the British firm have been strategic partners since 2009, but their cooperation on the Pearl 700 Advance 2 project represents a new step forward, the Taiwan company said.
The successful conclusion of tests with the G700 jet could pave the way for an expansion of cooperation between Rolls-Royce and AIDC, given the demand for aircraft engines is likely to double during the next year.
