A profile of Germany’s leading engine manufacturer

Three letters stand for world-class technology in aviation: MTU. We are a globally recognized specialist for commercial and military propulsion systems - a true global player with multinational teams and strong roots in Germany. MTU is where passion for flying meets high-tech engine expertise.

We are a technology leader for innovative engines

MTU Aero Engines is the expert of choice in the design, development, manufacture and mainte-nance of commercial and military engines - in all thrust and power categories - and of stationary industrial gas turbines. Our passion for aviation drives us to make flying safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. We’re building on our technological expertise to enable emissions-free flight in the future - a vision that we’re driving forward with revolutionary developments. This enthusiasm for technology and innovation is our DNA, and the reason why we’re regarded as an indispensable partner worldwide. In addition, we play a key role in national security and sovereignty in Europe with next-generation military propulsion systems.

We are a highly sought-after partner for first-class service

A full 45 years of experience, tailor-made solutions, and a global service network: these are what make MTU one of the world’s leading providers of maintenance services for commercial aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. With over 30 engine types, we offer the broadest maintenance portfolio on the market. Our specialists in the MRO shops repair 1,500 engines and industrial gas turbines every year. We also have MTU field service teams available around the clock to carry out urgent repairs on-site at the customer’s premises - quickly and reliably. Our military customers, too, can rely on MTU’s strengths: our first-class services are precisely tailored to the requirements of our military partners.

“Emissions-free flight is one of the central challenges of our time. We are committed to doing our part and taking responsibility in this vital task. Emissions-free flight is the vision that drives us.”

Lars Wagner, Chief Executive Officer, MTU Aero Engines
