Lean Plant Lifts Rolls-Royce: A dedicated factory assembles an innovate device

摘要

Ever heard of a supersonic airplane that can stop in midair and hover The F-35B Lightning II can. It's the world's first jet fighter to combine stealth technology with short takeoff-vertical landing (STOVL) capability and supersonic speed. The aircraft depends on a lift fan, which produces 20,000 pounds of thrust. It overcomes many of the temperature, velocity and power challenges of direct-lift systems. The innovative device is assembled by Rolls-Royce in a new, state-of-the-art factory just outside Indianapolis.
