The IAE V2500 is a two-shaft turbofan engine specially designed for narrowbody aircraft. It is used to power a number of aircraft, including the Airbus A319, A320, and A321. A major advancement on this engine, the IAE V2500Select-One™, was introduced in September 2008. Compared to the V2500-A5, this version offers a 1 percent drop in fuel consumption and achieves a 20 percent increase in on-wing operating time. The V2500-E5 is the engine version for the Embraer C-390 transport aircraft.
 

MTU’s involvement in the V2500

MTU has a 16 percent share in the IAE V2500 and is responsible for the entire low-pressure turbine as well as for numerous accessories. The development and manufacture of the IAE V2500 is in collaboration with Pratt & Whitney and the Japanese Aero Engines Corporation. To market the engines, a joint venture—International Aero Engines AG (IAE)—was founded in 1983.

To date, this engine fleet has completed more than 280 million flight hours. Repairs to the V2500-A5 and V2500-E5 models is handled by MTU Maintenance, which offers the full range of maintenance and overhaul services. This also includes extensive repair capabilities.
