PW2000

Since 1979, MTU has developed and manufactured components for the PW2000 engine family, as a partner of Pratt & Whitney. PW2000 engines are in use in medium- to long-haul commercial and military aircraft.

MTU holds a 21.2-percent stake in this successful engine, having developed the low-pressure turbine and turbine exit casing as well as key components for the low-pressure turbine and other highly-engineered components. The PW2000 is the first commercial low-pressure turbine developed under MTU's own responsibility.

MTU Maintenance Hannover in turn provides full repair services for the engine.
