PW6000

The PW6000 has been developed in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney since 1999. FAA certification was obtained in November 2004, ETOPS approval followed in December 2005. In a first for the company, MTU is manufacturing the entire low-pressure turbine and the high-pressure compressor for the PW6000. Final assembly is performed at MTU's Hannover facility.

The engine stands out by its high efficiency and the simplistic design. Designed for short-haul service, the PW6000 powers the Airbus A318. The PW6000 is manufactured using innovative techniques and materials. Its maintenance costs have been appreciably reduced.
