Military aircraft engines

Military aircraft are high-performance machines built to withstand extreme stress, and the demands placed on their engines are correspondingly high. MTU has successfully upheld these standards for decades, bringing its skills and expertise to the fore as the leading industrial company for practically all aircraft engines operated by the German Armed Forces. In addition, the company plays a key role in Europe’s most important military engine programs—from development to production to maintenance.

More than 20 years, MTU has enjoyed a tremendously successful maintenance collaboration with the German Armed Forces for the EJ200 (Eurofighter), MTR390 (Tiger) and RB199 (Tornado). As a risk-and-revenue-sharing partner of GE Aviation, MTU holds stakes in the F414, F110 and T408 programs.
