A Glimpse of the Future

In this video, from Rolls-Royce, students can see what it is like to work in a company that develops and manufactures high technology products. The video includes comments and descriptions from a group of young people visiting Rolls-Royce. The video includes sections on: * The manufacture of hollow titanium fan blades which are used in aeroplane jet engines. * The assembly floor for the Trent 1000 jet engine in Derby. * The Services Operations Centre which monitors the performance of thousands of jet engines in flight all around the world. * The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, based at the University of Sheffield, where Rolls-Royce works in collaboration to develop new high technology manufacturing processes. * Materials Solutions, one of the 8,000 companies which supply Rolls-Royce. The video is an excellent way to illustrate just some of the career opportunities in a high technology engineering company.
