Craig McVay is Senior Vice President of Strategic Campaigns for Rolls-Royce Defense. He is a retired Marine Corps fixed-wing aviator and in this Q&A discusses how the company is bringing advanced technology and support to the USAF B-52 re-engining program.
Breaking Defense: Why is the B-52 re-engining program so important for the Air Force?
McVay: The B-52 fleet will play a critical role in the U.S. Air Force’s strategic plan for decades to come and the Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) will enable these iconic aircraft to remain in service. The fleet will need new, improved engines to extend the lifespan of the aircraft – highly reliable powerplants that match the airframe well, offer a modern design, and provide highly fuel-efficient operation.
