CF6

This success story is one of the best-selling engines in its class and is used in medium-haul and long-haul aircraft. MTU manufactures parts of the CF6 turbine and compressor—and has now produced over a million of these components.

Application: e.g. Airbus A300, Boeing 747, C-5M Super Galaxy 
Thrustcategory: 41,500 – 69,800 lbf
EIS: 1971 (CF6-6)

CFM56-5B/-7B

The CFM56 engine family comprises five different models, two of which are looked after by MTU Maintenance. CFMI, a 50/50 cooperation between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines, has delivered more than 30,000 engines to date.

Application: Boeing 737, Airbus A320 family
Thrust category: 18,500–34,000 lbf
EIS: 1982

GP7000

The GP7000 is used in the long-haul sector and powers what is currently the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. It is lead developed, produced and distributed by the Engine Alliance. MTU is involved in the development and manufacture of various components as well as in the maintenance of the low-pressure turbine. 

Application: Airbus A380
Thrust category: 70,000–81,500 lbf
EIS: 2008

LM6000™

The LM6000™ industrial gas turbine is derived from GE’s CF6-80 aircraft engine and is mainly used in power generation. MTU Maintenance has provided MRO services for this type of gas turbine since 1996.

Application: power generation, mechanical drive systems
Power category: 44,7 – 58 MW
Commercial aircraft engine: CF6-80

MTR390

This turboshaft engine powers the Tiger support helicopter co-developed by France and Germany. In 2011, an uprated version of the engine (the MTR390-E) was developed that delivers 14 percent more power. MTU develops and manufactures the high-pressure turbine and combustor, among other things.
 

Application: Airbus Helicopters Tiger
Maximum power: 1,467 shp 
EIS: 2013 (MTR390-E)

RB199

The RB199 was developed and produced to power the Panavia Tornado multirole fighter jet. This extraordinarily successful engine marked the first time that MTU had contributed independently developed and built components, such as the intermediate-pressure and high-pressure compressor and the intermediate-pressure turbine. 

Application: Panavia Tornado
Thrust category: 16,000 – 17,000 lbf
EIS: 1979

TP400- D6

The TP400-D6 is the most powerful turboprop in the West. It offers impressive robustness, efficiency and low lifecycle costs in tactical and strategic operations. MTU developed the TP400-D6 with ITP Aero, Rolls-Royce and Safran Aircraft Engines as part of the Europrop International (EPI) joint venture. 

Application: Airbus A400M
Power (at sea level): 11,000 shp
EIS: 2013

V2500

MTU develops and manufactures the IAE V2500 engine in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney, PWAEI and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation. By now, the V2500 has logged more than 280 million flight hours and is maintained at various MTU Maintenance locations.

Application: Airbus A319/320/321, Boeing MD-90, Embraer C-390 Millenium
Thrust category: 22,000 – 33,000 lbf
EIS: 1989

LEAP-1A/-1B

CFM International’s LEAP engine family is used in the Airbus A320neo (LEAP-1A) and the Boeing 737 MAX (LEAP-1B), among others. MTU Maintenance Zhuhai is responsible for servicing these two models.

Application: Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX
Thrust category: 28,000–35,000 lbf
EIS: 2016
