[Cambridge University @Cambridge_Uni]

We were thrilled to welcome His Majesty The King to Cambridge today, on his first public engagement after the #Coronation.

His Majesty broke ground on the University's New @whittlelab, which will be the leading global centre for net zero aviation and energy.

[Rolls-Royce @RollsRoyce]

We have announced the successful completion of the first tests of our #UltraFan technology demonstrator. The tests were conducted using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel at our facility in Derby, UK.
