Tyne
The Tyne Mk 21/22 turboprop engine, delivering 4100 kW, powers the Transall military transport and the Breguet Atlantic reconnaissance/antisubmarine warfare aircraft. The commercial version of the Tyne is used in the freight planes CL44 Vanguard and Short Belfast freighter aircraft. So far, the Tyne is the most powerful propeller engine of the Western world. 315 Tyne Mk21 and 470 Tyne Mk22 were built and assembled under license from Rolls-Royce at MTU and its predecessor M.A.N. Turbo from 1966 to 1972.
MTU still provides maintenance and repair services for the Tyne. Together with its partners Rolls-Royce, Snecma Group and Techspace Aero the company is manufacturing spare parts for the German, French and Turkish Air Forces.
