Rolls Royce Test Pilots

Hi,

Just a quick question. Why does Rolls Royce have test pilots? I only ask, as I can't see the need for them as RR does not manufacture aircraft directly, and their products are used by other companies. And how big is their flight-test department i.e. how many TP's do they have?

I understand Phil O'Dell (RR Chief TP) flies their company spitfire.

Thank you.
