This company was founded in 1971 to unite Lucas Gas Turbine Equipment Ltd. and Rotax Ltd (both from the Lucas Group) to offer small turbines from the Rover Gas Turbine Co. through the acquisition of Alvis Ltd.

“TJ-125”

-The purpose was to manufacture small turbines for RPVs and APUs like Rover's TJ-125, which was renamed CT-3201 by the new company.

“Lucas CT-3201”

-The TJ-125 (CT-3201) was a small turbojet of only 52 Kgf of thrust and that was destined for the Belgian Epervier RPV (Pilotless Reconnaissance Vehicle) of MBLE.

-The Rover Co. was commissioned to build the first Frank Whittle turbines in 1941-42, which later moved to Rolls Royce.
