            ROLLS-ROYCE RR300 TO POWER NEW ROBINSON R66 HELICOPTER             

Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services, will
supply a new turboshaft engine to power Robinson Helicopter Company's new R66
rotorcraft, it was announced today at Heli-Expo in Orlando, Florida.

The new RR300 engine represents a major step forward in the helicopter industry
by providing 300 shaft horsepower at takeoff, with excellent hot and high
performance and outstanding value. The RR300 makes Rolls-Royce turbine power
available in the lower shp range.

The new R66 model, a five-seater, is Robinson Helicopter Company's first
venture into gas turbine-powered rotorcraft and will complement the company's
existing line of piston-powered aircraft.

Rolls-Royce expects FAA type certification by 2008 with full-rate production to
follow. Under the agreement with Robinson Helicopter, Rolls-Royce will provide
several hundred RR300 engines in upcoming years.

Rolls-Royce is the world-leading producer of light turbine engines in the
helicopter market. The Model 250 line has produced nearly 30,000 engines, with
approximately 16,000 currently in service worldwide in a wide range of aircraft
styles.

The RR300 embodies new technology and advanced design methodology. The engine
draws on the proven record of other Rolls-Royce turbine powerplants to deliver
a powerful, dependable engine at a competitive price.

Key attributes of the RR300 include: lower acquisition and operating costs;
low-weight, compact design; improved specific fuel consumption; an embedded
engine monitoring system; and an optional, through-life, peace-of-mind
maintenance programme.

Robinson Helicopter Company is the world's leading producer of civil
helicopters and is known for its high performance, reliable aircraft. Founded
by Frank Robinson, the company sold 806 rotorcraft in 2005, the most civil
helicopter sales of any company in the previous 25 years. The company has
produced more than 7,000 helicopters overall.
