Henry Royce established a manufacturing enterprise specialized in electronics and mechanical engineering in 1884, named Royce Ltd.. By 1904, the company had built the first car. May of that year met Charles Rolls Royce, owned a car dealership firm in London. They quickly reached an agreement that Royce will manufacture the cars are of high quality and CS Rolls of Rolls & Co will be exclusively sold and sold the cars to market.

Thanks to the advent of the Eagle, the first man to fly over the Atlantic Ocean, and open direct flights from Britain to Australia.
Late 1920s, Rolls-Royce engine development, "R", the contest helps British seaplane International Schneider Trophy. Immediately, the engine "R" has set a new world record for speed aircraft: over 650 mi / h (1931), followed by a series of record on both land and ocean.
More importantly are the main achievements gave Rolls-Royce aircraft engine development Merlin. 2nd World War broke out with huge demand for Rolls-Royce Merlin made from an unknown company into a powerhouse in the field of aircraft engine.
In addition, Rolls-Royce also embarked on developing turbine powered by natural gas.This success helped Rolls-Royce have confirmed their confidence in building a gas turbine and its lead in this area. In 1953, Rolls-Royce to participate in the civil aviation market and only a few years later I won two "best": Comet became the turbine jet first flight through the service of the University Atlantic in 1960 and Conway engine in the Boeing 707 is a turboprop engine first used in civil aviation.
Late 50's, the UK has four giants of the aircraft engine is Armstrong Siddeley, Blackburn, Bristol, de Havilland and Napier. In 1959, merged with Armstrong Siddeley Bristol, Bristol Siddeley founded the company. In 1961, Blackburn, de Havilland and Napier merged with Rolls-Royce. But eventually, the entire resources of the British was consolidated when Rolls-Royce and Bristol Siddeley merged in 1966.
Late 60's, Rolls-Royce RB211 engines introduced to equip the Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star but the problems caused by RB211 Rolls-made ROCE be nationalized in 1971.Rolls-Royce to be returned to the private sector in 1987. Experienced some minor mergers, Rolls-Royce became the UK's only company able to supply engines for air, at sea and on land.
In 1990, Rolls-Royce established a manufacturing joint venture with BMW aircraft engines. In 1998, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars sold to Volkswagen, although BMW owns the brand name and the Rolls-Royce. By 2000 Rolls-Royce took full ownership of joint venture with BMW and officially renamed the Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG but only three years later bought the entire BMW Rolls-Royce.
Today, Rolls-Royce still held second place on the production of civil aircraft engines, aircraft engines and air defense is one of the names represent manufacturing outboard motors and power solution of the world.
