CF6

MTU has been a risk-and-revenue sharing partner in this engine program of General Electric since 1972 when the company produced the first parts for the CF6-50. In the meantime, MTU supplies parts for the entire CF6 family (CF6-80A, -80C, -80E and-6). The CF6 is a two-shaft turbofan which powers aimed at the medium-to-long-haul large Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

MTU's manufacturing role in the engine is the high-pressure turbine and compressor. Having been manufactured for over 25 years, this engine figures more and more importantly in MTU's repair and spare parts business.

MRO at MTU Maintenance

The CF6-50 is maintained at MTU Maintenance Hannover and at MTU Maintenance Canada. The CF6-80C2 is supported by MTU Maintenance Hannover.
