A bill to accommodate a slightly larger small modular nuclear reactor by Rolls Royce passed the Indiana House on Monday.

The aerospace and defense company upgraded the World War II-era buildings reducing the footprint more than 50 percent, but still expanding production capabilities.

Rolls-Royce announced a new partnership with Purdue University at the Cybertech Midwest conference in Indianapolis Wednesday.

The research agreement announced Monday at the International Paris Air Show involves Rolls-Royce, Purdue University and the state of Indiana.

Rolls-Royce opened one big facility at Purdue this year. Now, it's investing another $10 million in two new wind tunnels.

Dignitaries cutting the ribbon Thursday at a new Rolls-Royce research facility at Purdue University say increased defense spending proposed in President Trump's budget could enable growth of the school's fledgling aerospace park.

The museum features interactive digital displays, aircraft engines from the 1920s and military fighter jets.

It's clear each will remain true to their heritage, but there's a fabulous future of autonomous driving, electric powertrains, and connectivity.

Purdue announced last week that the partnership will initially encompass two research centers in the areas of advanced thermal management systems and advanced compressor systems.
