“It’s on another scale from anything I’ve seen before,” says Lorna Carter who recently started working at a new Rolls-Royce research and development facility near Bristol.
She works with giant robots which lay thousands of strips of carbon fibre tape to form a cylinder some 3.7m (almost 12ft) in diameter.
The cylinder forms the outer shell of Rolls-Royce’s new engine, the Ultrafan.
Still under development, Rolls-Royce says the Ultrafan will be quieter and more fuel efficient than anything it has made before.
