Engine testing is underway at Rolls-Royce's advanced manufacturing campus in Indianapolis.

About the AE 1107F

Derived from a trusted lineage of power solutions with more than 90 million flight hours across 16 commercial and military platforms, the AE 1107F is the newest addition to the AE family of engines. AE engines share a common core, with 80% commonality across the engine family.

The unique common core design provides significant economic benefits, reduces risk and increases speed-to-market for new AE engine variants. It also allows the company to maintain an active supply chain supporting production and aftermarket support for the entire fleet of AE engines.

The AE 1107 has a strong history with the U.S. Department of Defense, powering V-22 Osprey variants for the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force; as well as a marinized variant (MT7) that powers the U.S. Navy's Ship to Shore Connector.
