Reply to comment by Kidrellik in Rolls-Royce successfully tests hydrogen-powered jet engine by je97

Rolls Royce has been making airplane engines for a long time, all the way back to British military contracts in 1915.

These days they’re still a defence/aerospace company first and car manufacturer second.

They’re two distinct companies. The car manufacturer and aeronautics company are completely separate entities. My dad worked for Rolls Royce aeronautics for 30+ years before retiring servicing airplane engines.
