I spent yesterday at @RollsRoyce in Derby learning how jet engines work and how they're made.
I was there with this year's cohort from @FoundSciTech, and saw the evolution from early piston aero-engines named after birds of prey (Eagle, Hawk, Kestrel, Merlin) to the more familiar gas turbines and jet engines named after rivers (Avon, Trent, Derwent, Nene).
In this edition of Three Big Ideas, I look at the partnership between Charles Rolls, Henry Royce and Claude Johnson (the 'hyphen in Rolls-Royce') and ask whether the rise of the solo entrepreneur and AI means a modern day Royce wouldn't need a Rolls.
