IAC Aviation wins £3M test cell refurbishment for Rolls-Royce
 Rolls-Royce, Bristol has commissioned IAC Aviation to undertake a major aero-engine test cell refurbishment in a contract worth nearly £3M.
 IAC Aviation has been commissioned by the Hyde Group to undertake a major aero-engine test facility refurbishment programme for Rolls-Royce, Bristol across three cells, in a contract worth nearly £3M with a duration of 18 months. This is the first joint bid performed by IAC and Hyde.
The Rolls Royce plant at Bristol has previously been used for the development of military aircraft engines but, in what is a new move for the manufacturer, the three test cells are to be refurbished by IAC for use in the design and development of the new RB282 civil aircraft engine for corporate jets. The test cells will be used in the pre-production phase to fine tune the engine design.
 Cliff Brindley the Rolls Royce Business Manager, at IAC says: “Rolls-Royce’ has only contracted two major test facility refurbishment projects over the past three years and we have successfully secured both. This is all great news for IAC and our suppliers, especially in the current uncertain economic climate.”
