In 2017, the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust – Allison Branch reopened the James A. Allison Exhibition Center in a modern 6,000 square-foot space at the Rolls-Royce Meridian Center.

Visitors to the Exhibition Center can view a collection of jet engines and other equipment made in Indianapolis that power today’s and yesterday’s aircraft – including engines that power C-130J Super Hercules; V-22 Osprey; Global Hawk; Citation X+s; Embraer ERJ jets; various commercial helicopters; and historical engines such as the Allison V-1710 that powered the legendary North American P-51 Mustang, P-40s, and other aircraft. A Rolls-Royce LiftFan®, which provides unique vertical lift capability for the F-35B Lightning II, is also on display.
