23/12/2005 - EUROJET Signed 300 Million Euro In-Service Contract
MUNICH, Germany — Eurojet Turbo GmbH, the leading European military engine consortium, yesterday signed a contract with NETMA worth about 300 Million Euros for the EJ200 engine powering the Eurofighter aircraft.
This contract will assure full-scale in-service support for the engine including all IT systems (Electronic Data Processing for service support) across Europe. The contract phase runs up to 2009 and to be extended further.
The EJ200 is the world’s leading technology military engine in-service with the Air Forces of Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Rapidly accumulated In-service experience has confirmed the superior qualities of the EJ200 engine. Exceptional performance, excellent handling and highest reliability levels have been demonstrated in the Eurofighter Typhoon, setting the trend for the future of the programme and for export. The first export order of 18 aircraft has been signed with the Government of Austria.
The EJ200 production programme is contracted to produce 1400 engines for Eurofighter Typhoon. It is the largest military engine production programme under contract in the world today.
With unprecedented performance, multi-mission capability and reliability, the EJ200 is the best choice for next generation combat and trainer applications, for which Eurojet can also offer a wide range of engine support concepts.
Eurojet Turbo GmbH is the leading European military aerospace engine consortium responsible for the development, production, maintenance, support and sales of the new generation EJ200 powerplant. The shareholders of Eurojet are Avio (Italy), ITP (Spain), MTU Aero Engines (Germany) and Rolls-Royce (UK).
The EJ200 engine combines the leading technologies from each of the four European companies. The engine has been designed to fulfil the most demanding requirements (highest performance, optimum maintainability and low life cycle costs) set for next generation fighter and training aircraft.
Like the aircraft, the engine is assembled in four assembly lines, one in each of the partner nations. The work-share reflects the number of aircraft and associated number of engines ordered by the respective partners.
