Larzac 04

The Larzac 04, a two-shaft turbofan engine, was developed between 1969 and 1973. From 1975 to 1988, 1,274 units were produced by MTU together with its partners Snecma, Turbomeca, KHD (today Rolls-Royce Deutschland). MTU was responsible for the production of approximately 25 percent of the parts and for post-development support.

The Larzac 04 powers the Alpha Jet trainer and light fighter. The Alpha Jet is still in service in France and in twelve other countries. The German Air Force retired the last of its Alpha Jets in 1997.

Today, MTU still produces spare parts for Snecma, the company providing support for all Larzac 04 customers. MTU's stake in the production and support of the engine primarily includes the hot section from combustor inlet to turbine exit.
