TP400-D6

The development of this advanced military engine is shared by ITP, MTU Aero Engines, Rolls-Royce and Snecma Moteurs. The partners have launched a joint company, Europrop International (EPI), to develop, manufacture and support the TP400-D6.

The TP400-D6 is intended to power the A400M military transport.

MTU is responsible for the TP400-D6's intermediate-pressure compressor, intermediate-pressure turbine and intermediate-pressure shaft and has a stake in the engine control unit. The company will also do the final assembly and testing of all TP400-D6s built in Europe, at its MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg facility.
