He could just be fantastically lucky with the market in civil aerospace,” said one industry watcher.

From the times Erginbilgic is not afraid to stir things up at the 117-year-old company, either, demonstrated by his invite to longtime bear of the stock — analyst David Perry of JPMorgan — to deliver a presentation to the company’s senior leadership earlier this month, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Full year results with a new CEO hopefully bringing something to the table that investors like

Ignore the rubbish, 4 weeks to results, very soon all will be revealed. Hope it does go down to 70p again soon, I will remortgage my house to fill up on more on the bargain RR shares

Lessor says Air India to order around 500 jets https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/lessor-says-air-india-order-around-500-jets-2023-01-16/

Thanks, love it, especially this bit. In addition to the obvious environmental advantages, this, in turn, keeps fuel costs lower, allowing airlines to open up new routes that may be otherwise unprofitable. In fact, according to Rolls-Royce, the Trent XWB engine is so efficient that it offers fuel savings of $2.9 million per year per aircraft.

Imagine if this comes in before results,

Nice bit of news yesterday, Airbus rounds off year with A350 freighter and A330neo orders
uses, picked up slightly in the closing weeks of last year, with the airframer recording an order for four A350 freighters from an undisclosed customer.
Wonder who this is?

Worth watching to gain more understanding on Airbus A350 build
This documentary was on YouTube in 2020, nice coverage off the RR Trent XWB Engines that are used with the plane
2 XWB Engines per Plane, 70 engineers put together 2 engines in a week
These engines will hopefully bring home some honey

You sure? I thought that Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Engines are also used on these planes

Heathrow-Delhi To Have Most Daily Flights Ever With Air India's Added Services

Air India has increased Delhi to London Heathrow flights to 17x weekly. It is its second-highest frequency on the route to date, surpassed only by a 21x weekly (3x daily) service in 2015 and 2016, according to OAG data. It'll be the highest for seven years and appears to use slots leased from Garuda Indonesia. Given Air India's transformation plan, new ownership, new CEO, more aircraft, greater emphasis on Delhi as a hub, and planned merger with Vistara (which serves Delhi-Heathrow), expect to see more flights on the route.

Even without SMR we are in a good place
May be best to offload it and focus on all the other parts of the business

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/08/china-drops-quarantine-for-visitors-as-lunar-new-year-travel-kicks-off-amid-covid-surge

The good thing now is we have Tufan Erginbilgic as CEO, he will be frustrated as everyone involved in working on the SMR development program and won’t wait for them to make a decision. Surely he will be able to work with the government to bring this in.
RR have quality SMR designs, manufacturing capabilities and techniques to build not only cost effective but highly efficiency nuclear builds.
Tufan needs to address regulatory issues and the politicians who are determined to fight against it.
If not, easy just build them in the USA or another country and supply only those countries. When the government comes begging tell them the cost is now double to the UK
