After two years of construction, the new test center for engine parts has now been completed. For the building, which is located in Munich, a total of 25 million euros were invested.<br /> <br />Here we can perform 65 different types of engine component testings – among them spin tests, air flow measurements, structural tests, vibration, wear, ballistic and fatigue tests. Plans are to test new materials, new designs and larger structures. We have created testing capabilities that constitute a unique selling point for us and makes MTU Aero Engines clearly stand out among its competitors.<br /><br />The new test center is also an invest for the future. The complete system can be expanded at any time - both in terms of space and new technologies.<br /><br />The centerpiece of the new test facility is a multifunctional rotation test stand. It was built in a separate enclosure – a twin-wall reinforced concrete structure – and rests on a special soundproof base plate weighing as much as 90 tons.

MTU opens its doors and provides insights into the high-tech test center for engine components. A total of 25 million euros were invested in the hall, which is now located in Munich. A state-of-the-art testing facility and a unique multi-function rotary test rig are able to perform 65 different types of tests on engine components, including spin tests, air flow measurements, structural tests, vibration, wear, ballistic and fatigue tests. <br /><br />The focus is on testing new materials, new designs and larger structures, not only for current engine generations but for entirely new propulsion systems just emerging on the horizon MTU’s ultimate goal is emission-free air traffic, and the company is already pushing the development of innovative green propulsion technologies systematically forward.

We are already looking today to the answers for tomorrow\'s questions. In the first half of 2019, we have some highlights to report. Here you will find an overview of our innovations, achievements and tasks that will continue to keep us busy. Above all, we are working on our future and emission-free flying. <br /> <br />Here are the steps in detail: <br />- Together with Safran we developed the engine for Europe\'s next generation fighter aircraft<br />- The MTUPlus Intelligent Solution has been launched<br />- Maintenance collected orders worth 4.4 billion US dollars in 2018 <br />- We celebrated 10 years of MTU Aero Engines Polska, the topping-out ceremony in Jasinoka and the opening of the new logistics center in Berlin-Brandenburg<br />- Location development is also progressing in Serbia<br />- Our participation in the E-hybrid small aircraft Silent Air Taxi is official, accordingly we have signed the European declaration of intent for emission-free flying <br />- Evolutionary and revolutionary propulsion concepts for civil aircraft have been launched<br />- At Paris Air Show 2019, we collected orders worth US$1.3 billion<br /> <br />We are looking forward to the second part of 2019.
