Scope[edit]

There are some engines listed in the products section that ceased production in the 1960s and 70s, they should be covered briefly in the Rolls-Royce Limited article. The hatnote in this article states the scope is 1987 on, the two engine navboxes split at 1971 (nationalisation of the company). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 17:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rank[edit]

The lead says:

"Rolls-Royce is the world's second-largest maker of aircraft engines^[1] (after General Electric)^[2]
...
The company is also the world's fourth largest commercial aircraft engine manufacturer, with a 12% market share as of 2020^[update].^[3]

Assuming the "commercial" isn't significant and maker=manufacturer, which is it, second or fourth? The Statista source is paywalled. :(
