Larzac 04

The Larzac 04 is a two-shaft turbofan engine. It was manufactured by MTU together with the French engine makers Snecma Moteurs and Turbomeca as well as Germany's Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz (KHD) since 1975. The Larzac 04 powered the Alpha Jet light fighter. By the time the Alpha Jets of the German air force were retired in 1997, engines had been delivered for over 500 of the fighters.

MTU's stake in the production and support of the engine primarily includes the hot section from combustor inlet to turbine exit.

Today, MTU with its partners Rolls-Royce Deutschland, Snecma Group and Turbomeca still manufactures spare parts for the French air force's requirements.
