Keywords: Rolls-Royce, Military, Greece, Aircraft

Rolls-Royce informs us that it will provide 24 to 30 engines worth an estimated $60 million including spares and initial provisioning to the Greek Armed Forces. The order is to supply engines for the C-27J transport planes from an Aienia-Lockheed Martin consortium to the Greek government. Greece confirmed it would buy 12 to 15 planes.

The C-27J Spartan is built jointly by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company and Italy's Alenia Aeronautica S.p.A, and is powered by two Rolls-Royce AE 2100 engines.
