GP7000

The GP7000 is developed, manufactured and marketed by Engine Alliance, a joint venture of GE Aviation and Pratt & Whitney. Other partner sharing in this engine program are MTU, Snecma and Techspace Aero. MTU has taken on responsibility for the development and manufacture of the low-pressure turbine and the turbine center frame. The company also manufactures components for the high-pressure turbine.

The GP7000 engine family powers long-haul aircraft. Flight certification of the GP7000-powered Airbus A380 was obtained in late 2007. The aircraft entered revenue service in August 2008 and is setting a new benchmark in terms of reliability, fuel consumption and noise emissions in its class.
