EJ200 Engine Recognised as Benchmark Engine in Fighter Engine Market


HALLBERGMOOS, Germany, February 20 - At the International Aero India Seminar (5-7 Feb.) and Aero India Exhibition (7-11 Feb.) in Bangalore EUROJET Turbo GmbH presented the EJ200 engine, which powers the Eurofighter Typhoon, to the international Aerospace community.

During the Aero India International Seminar, attended by more than 1,000 scientists, experts, dignitaries, EUROJET was delighted that the EJ200 engine was widely recognised as the benchmark new generation military engine. This was pointed out in several presentations and discussions.

Hartmut J. Tenter, Managing Director of EUROJET emphasises: "This international event in India has confirmed our good market position. An increasing number of countries and institutions from all around the globe are expressing serious interest in the EJ200 engine. The EJ200 technologically supersedes its competitors, delivering the highest thrust-to-weight ratio with the most simple engine architecture. The EJ200 engine delivers highest reliability levels (FOD-tolerant, lowest engine removal rate) and provides power for multi-mission capability (supercruise, carefree handling and full authority digital engine control) of the Eurofighter Typhoon. The Eurofighter aircraft and EJ200 engine are two systems with a high potential of interest for India, strategically and industrially. We are very confident in our product and look forward to the RFP for the up-coming competition to select a new fighter aircraft for the Indian Air Force".
