Rolls-Royce Picks Up Pentagon Contract
(INDIANAPOLIS) - Rolls-Royce has landed its second big Pentagon contract this week.
The company's Indianapolis factory will receive 700-million dollars over five years to build aircraft engines for the V-22 Osprey.
The Osprey takes off and lands like a helicopter, but can fly twice as fast with three times the payload.
The announcement follows a nearly 800-million-dollar contract to make spare parts for the C-130 Hercules cargo plane.
