EJ200
A joint MTU, Rolls-Royce, Avio and ITP effort, the EJ200 is an advanced engine powering the Eurofighter and its export version Typhoon. It is a brand new two-shaft turbofan engine in the 90kN thrust category.
MTU's production share in the EJ200 program is 30% and comprises the low- and high-pressure compressors, electronic control unit, plus work on the high-pressure turbine as well as assembly and testing of the engines for the German air force.
