Commercial aircraft engines

Commercial aircraft move people and freight from one continent to another in a matter of hours. Having powerful, reliable engines is essential for smooth fleet operations. MTU Aero Engines is a partner in numerous pioneering commercial engine programs for all aircraft size classes operating on short- to medium- to long-haul routes. In the commercial OEM business, the company plays a key role in developing, manufacturing and marketing high-tech components such as high-pressure compressors, low-pressure turbines and turbine center frames. Around one-third of all aircraft in service worldwide today have MTU components on board.

However, the Group’s activities extend beyond the OEM business: in terms of revenue, MTU Maintenance is the world’s largest independent MRO provider for commercial engines.

Fewer emissions, less noise: the GTF engine

At MTU, we pursue not only climate protection goals but also the reduction of noise emissions. Our acoustics experts are involved at every stage of product development—from technology management to the design and optimization of engines. The flagship here is the Pratt & Whitney GTFTM engine family, developed and built jointly by Pratt & Whitney and MTU, which powers the Airbus A320neo family and A220 as well as Embraer’s E-Jets. Compared to the previous generation, the GTF engine family reduces CO₂ emissions per flight by 20 percent and decreases the noise footprint by 75 percent. 

  • Thrust range

    14 k to 33 k (increasable)

  • Reduction in fuel consumption

    25% fuel savings possible per seat with GTF-powered aircraft

  • Noise reduction

    20dB noise reduction over ICAO Stage 4 requirements

  • Reduction in NOx emissions

    50% reduction in NOx emissions over 2009 standard (CAEP6)

The parameters for success:
  • up to
    75%
    reduction in noise
  • up to
    50%
    reduction in NOx emissions
  • per trip
    20%
    reduction in carbon dioxide emissions possible
