MTU has been a risk-and-revenue sharing partner in this GE Aerospace engine program since 1971, when the company produced the first parts for the CF6-50. In the meantime, MTU manufactures parts for the entire CF6 family (CF6-6, CF6-80A, -80C2, -80E). The CF6 is a two-shaft turbofan which powers medium- to long-haul Airbus and Boeing widebody aircraft.
The successful model is one of the best-selling engines in its class and was MTU's first engine for commercial aviation 50 years ago. MTU manufactures parts of the turbine and compressor for the CF6 - in the meantime, MTU has produced more than one million single parts for it.
For this engine family, which has been in manufacturing for over 40 years, the MTU’s repair and spare parts business is becoming increasingly important. In Hannover and Vancouver, some models of the CF6 family are maintained by MTU Maintenance.
