With more people flying than ever before and an increasing demand for more efficient travel, Rolls-Royce has defined a vision for the future of aircraft power that will help deliver passengers more reliably and more efficiently than ever before.
Our IntelligentEngine vision is based on a belief that the worlds of product and service have become so closely connected that they are now inseparable. This trend was first identified when we introduced the market-defining TotalCare® service in the 1990s and, since then, advancements in digital capability have accelerated this change and further blurred the boundary between the two.
The coming together of product and service, supercharged by digital technology, offers us a wealth of opportunities to improve the way we provide power to our customers.
In addition to designing, testing, and maintaining engines in the digital realm, our IntelligentEngine vision sets out a future where an engine will be increasingly connected, contextually aware and comprehending, helping to deliver greater reliability and efficiency:
- Connected – with other engines, its support ecosystem, and with its customer, allowing for regular, two-way flow of information between many parties
- Contextually aware – of its operating context, constraints and the needs of the customer, allowing it to respond to the environment around it without human intervention
- Comprehending – learning from its own experiences and from its network of peers to adjust its behaviour and achieve best performance
A future where, once again, we are pioneering the power that matters, just like we have throughout our history.
