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 powers the A400M military transport, which has sucessfully completed it’s first flight on December 11 2009 in Seville, Spain.

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. MTU Aero engines in Munich will be responsible for final assembly of all TP400-D6s built in Europe, and acceptance testing will be performed at MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg.
