Rolls-Royce plc (juga dikenal dengan Rolls-Royce Aero Engines) adalah pembuat mesin pesawat terbesar ke-2 di dunia, di belakang divisi GE Aircraft Engines General Electric.



Rolls-Royce, sebuah perusahaan mobil yang didirikan pada 1906 oleh Henry Royce dan C.S. Rolls memproduksi mesin pesawat pertamanya pada 1914.

Untuk sejarah singkat dari perusahaan ini dari berdirinya sampai dikenalnya sebagai pembuat mesin pesawat utama UK setelah penggabungannya dengan Bristol Siddeley pada 1968, lihat Rolls-Royce.

Setelah terpilih menjadi pembuat mesin satu-satunya untuk Lockheed L-1011 (Tristar) Rolls-Royce mengabdikan besar-besaran kepada mesin RB211. Pengembangan RB211 terganggu oleh banyak masalah dan pada 4 Februari 1971 Rolls-Royce diumumkan bangkrut. Untuk menyelamatkan Rolls-Royce pemerintahan Edward Heath menasionalisasikannya.

Divisi otomotif dipisahkan dari divisi mesin pesawat pada 1973 sebagai Rolls-Royce Motors. Rolls-Royce plc diprivatisasikan pada 1987 di bawah Margaret Thatcher. Mengikuti kembalinya ke sektro privat Rolls-Royce berkembang kuat. Pada 1980-an memperkenalkan kebijakan untuk menawarkan mesin pesawat ke setiap pesawat sipil dengan perusahaan ini digunakan di 17 maskapai berbeda, dibanding dengan General Electric 14 dan Pratt & Whitney 10.

Di Amerika Serikat, perusahaan ini membuat mesin untuk jet perusahaan dan regional, helikopter, dan pesawat turboprop. Rolls-Royce juga membuat dan memasang sistem penghasil tenaga dan merupakan salah satu pembuat sistem propulsi kelautan terbesar di dunia. Teknologi turbin gas utamanya telah menciptakan salah satu rangkaian produk mesin pesawat yang terbanyak di dunia, dengan 50.000 mesin dalam pelayanan dengan 500 maskapai penerbangan, 2.400 perusahaan dan pengoperator lainnya dan lebih dari 100 angkatan bersenjata, dipasang dalam pesawat sayap-tetap dan helikopter.
