In addition to luxury cars and airplane engines, Rolls-Royce also provides power systems for naval vessels, submarines, and offshore oil platforms.
Rolls-Royce cars are famously quiet, thanks in part to the company's use of double-glazed windows, soundproofing materials, and specially designed tires that reduce road noise.
