Actually, in order to get the contract let in the first place. The US doesn't generally buy military gear from anyone else. For example the USMC Harriers are a McDonnell-Douglas product. Firearms is about the only exception I can think of off the top of my head. The Roll-Royce engines for the B-52 are presumably going to be built in the US in partnership with PW or GE, or something .
The engines are made by Rolls Royce North America, so compliant with the US buying US products.mko9 said:

RR have a Rolls Royce North America subsidiary which is basically what was Allison before RR bought it. They make the V22's engines.

Don't RR still own Allison?RizzoTheRat said:

They make the V22's engines.I was working at RR in Filton in the early noughties and was doing some work with a draftsman who said he had drawings were some measurements were given in metric and some in imperial, as the tolerances are so small you can't machine it accurately enough in the other measurements. Something to do with them using Allison cores on another engine or vice-versa I think.
k yeah.
