Detroit produces 3 product lines‚ referred to as Group 1‚ 2‚ and 3. A feasibility study recommends that Group 1 products be transferred to either Fremont‚ Maysville or Lancaster.

PrFan Blades Rolls Royce is unique for its patented manufacturing process of its hollow wide-chord titanium fan blades. To make these fan blades light and strong the fan blades are made from titanium 6-4 alloy with a hollow internal “Warren–Girder” structure. This is done using 2 processes namely Superplastic forming and Diffusion bonding. The manufacture process starts with 3 sheets of forged titanium. A material called stop-off is printed onto 2 of the sheets which will stop them from joining

Steps in the process such as cutting‚ sanding‚ and machining are fairly universal for each staircase‚ and B&B could easily create stations with one or two joiners working at each stage of the process. There is existing space in their factory for such a setup and this would allow them to handle more volume
