The ongoing worldwide need for helicopters of all types that serve diverse industry and government segments is helping keep manufacturers like Rolls-Royce busy. Current Rolls-Royce engine programs include the RR500 turboshaft and turboprop, the already certified RR300 and the venerable M250. The LHTEC T800 partnership with Honeywell also remains active, with four first flights last year.

Robinson Helicopter’s R66 is still on track to be the first helicopter certified with the RR300, and RotorWay International is developing its first certified helicopter, the Eagle 300T, powered by the RR300.
