V2500

The IAE V2500 is a two-shaft turbofan targeted at short- to medium-haul transports and is used among others on the Airbus A319, A320 and A321. MTU holds a 16% stake in the IAE V2500 and is responsible for the complete low-pressure turbine and numerous add-on parts. In September 2008, the IAE V2500Select-OneTM, an upgrated version of the IAE V2500-A5, was successfully introduced into service. Major improvements include a one-percent reduction in fuel burn and a 20-percent increase in on-wing time.

MTU develops and manufactures the IAE V2500 engine in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation. For the launch in 1983, a joint company – International Aero Engines AG (IAE) – was established.

The engine has now logged more than 250 million flight hours. The V2500-A5 and V2500-E5 models are maintained by MTU Maintenance. For this purpose, it offers a very broad range of services covering all aspects of maintenance and overhaul, including extensive repair capabilities.
