Rolls-Royce Completes F130 Engine Testing, Paving Way for B-52J Stratofortress Modernization Aviation News – Rolls-Royce has successfully concluded high-altitude and operability testing for the F130 engine, marking a decisive milestone in the U.S. Air Force’s B-52J Stratofortress re-engining program. The testing campaign, conducted at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) in Tennessee, validates the engine’s performance across high-altitude mission profiles and turbulent airflow conditions. This project serves as a cornerstone of the Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP), which aims to replace the legacy TF33 engines—in service for over 60 years—with modern, fuel-efficient F130 propulsion systems.
