Rolls-Royce Breaks Through Marine Propulsion Barriers

Rolls Royce has scored two breakthrough propulsion orders with the US Navy, its Kamewa waterjets having been selected to drive the experimental X-Craft high speed aluminium catamaran while its MT30 marine gas turbine has been chosen to power the Integrated Power System (IPS) Engineering Development Model (EDM) for the DD(X) multimission destroyer programme.

The US Navys X-Craft will be driven by Kamewa waterjets.
