                    FOR US NAVY T-45 TRAINER AIRCRAFT                                

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has been awarded a US$103.3
million MissionCareâ„¢ contract by the US Department of Defense to provide
support for the F405 (Adour) engines that power the US Navy's T-45 training
aircraft.

The contract reflects the continued success of MissionCare support for the US
Navy and exercises the fourth option year to provide guaranteed engine
availability. This includes support ranging from on-wing through intermediate
and depot level maintenance, under a five-year base contract that began in
2008. Rolls-Royce uses MissionCare to apply commercial Power By The Hour®
principles to the unique requirements of the defence industry.

Paul Craig, Rolls-Royce, President - Defence Services, said: "Our MissionCare
contract with the US Navy is one of our most successful partnerships and we
take great pride in supporting the training of new aviators for the US Navy and
US Marine Corps. We look forward to another successful year, working in
partnership with our customer to maximize engine availability for training
missions."

Under the terms of the agreement, which is administered by the Naval Air
Systems Command (NAVAIR), Rolls-Royce will provide inventory control, as well
as integrated logistics support and required engineering elements for both the
F405 engine and the aircraft gas turbine starting system.

This contract provides comprehensive propulsion services to more than 200
aircraft, operating at four main Naval Air Stations - Kingsville, Texas;
Meridian, Mississippi; Pensacola, Florida; and Patuxent River, Maryland.
