MTU Aero Engines has been at the forefront of the engine industry for nine decades. The expertise and passion of its employees—its “Passion for Engines”—brought the company to this point and will continue to carry it into the future. The next chapter in the success story will be propulsion concepts that enable zero-emission aviation by 2050. Because our claim is clear: we shape the future of aviation.
Aviation brings people together, connecting cultures and economic areas. Today, MTU has more than 12,000 people from 88 nations working together at its 18 locations worldwide. They are united by a common passion: a fascination for engines. We at MTU are experts in the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of commercial and military engines—in all thrust and power categories—and of stationary industrial gas turbines.
We are passionate about the perfection of every single component that we manufacture and maintain—throughout its lifecycle. Quality is our passion, and we use it to put passenger safety first. Innovative strength drives us forward to make our vision of emissions-free flight a reality. Every engine component that leaves our company reflects the dedication and expertise of our teams.
We are proud of what we have achieved together, and we look to the future with confidence and undiminished passion for engines.
„I recently flew in an A320neo. Back at my workplace a little while later, when I was holding a component from that aircraft’s engine type in my hands, I thought: Cool, I just flew with that engine. Maybe I even coated one of its components.”
Maximilian Bayer, Thermal Spraying Process Specialist
„We examine the component from many different angles to ensure maximum quality. We make sure that any assembly stamped with the MTU logo has MTU quality underneath.”
Marc Rehermann, Quality Controller for assembly
“We process the components with a great deal of precision, following the regulations to the letter. This is essential, not least because our engines will go on to power aircraft that carry thousands of passengers.”
Manfred Glas, Machinist in manufacturing
In the aviation industry, three letters stand for technology of outstanding caliber: MTU. For decades, MTU Aero Engines has been providing propulsion systems to power aircraft. Over the past 90 years, we’ve set numerous milestones that not only demonstrate our expertise, but also showcase our tireless commitment to progress and sustainability.
Highly efficient and advanced: engine components “made by MTU” are world class.
Aeroderivative industrial gas turbines (IGTs) are in a class of their own: compact and lightweight, these IGTs offer quick start-up capabilities in power generation.
Inspecting without disassembly: In the future, a flexible miniature robot will make it possible to use a borescope even in areas of an engine that were previously difficult to access.
The first preliminary studies into a geared turbofan were begun by Pratt & Whitney, MTU and Fiat Avio in the 1990s. Today, the innovative technology sets standards and brings substantial reductions in fuel, CO2 and noise.
One-third of the world’s commercial aircraft take to the skies with MTU technology on board. With high-tech components such as its high-pressure compressor, low-pressure turbine, and turbine center frame, MTU has established itself as an indispensable partner to industry giants GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney. MTU’s cutting-edge technology can be found in engines for all common aircraft types, from business jets to narrowbody and widebody aircraft.
With sites in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as comprehensive service solutions, representative offices, and more than 12,000 employees, MTU has a worldwide presence.
