The PW6000 has been developed and manufactured in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney since 1999.
For MTU, this engine marked several milestones at once: The PW6000 marks the first time MTU has had sole responsibility for a commercial core engine. It is also, for the first time in its history, responsible for the final assembly and acceptance test run of the manufactured engines. And for the first time, a six-stage transonic high-pressure compressor developed by MTU is being used in commercial applications.
MTU was also responsible for the development of the low-pressure turbine for the PW6000 and for the manufacture of parts for the high-pressure compressor and the low-pressure turbine.
The engine stands out by its high efficiency and its simplistic design. Designed for short-haul service, the PW6000 was used in the Airbus A318. The PW6000 engine is characterized by the use of the most innovative manufacturing techniques and materials, and maintenance costs have been significantly reduced.
