The Propulsion Systems Group is managed by MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union München GmbH.
The Propulsion Systems Group is responsible for the development, manufacture, and support of aeroengines for passenger and cargo aircraft, helicopters, turboprops, combat and training aircraft. The Group is an active partner in international cooperation programs to develop and produce civilian and military turbojet and turboshaft engines.
In the field of airliners and business aircraft, MTU is mainly cooperating with the renowned US engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney and with General Electric. In the field of military aircraft, MTU is cooperating with European partners only. In March, 1991, MTU and Pratt & Whitney signed an agreement, which states that for future commercial programs, the two companies will treat the respective partner as being a "privileged partner" in commercial endeavours. MTU and Pratt & Whitney are developing a new propulsion system with a thrust performance of 15,000 to 24,000 lb. In this joint program Pratt & Whitney has a share of 51-percent, MTU has a share of 49-percent. The certification is foreseen for January 1999.
At the Hannover-Langenhagen site, MTU Maintenance GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler-Benz Aerospace, is engaged in the support, maintenance, and repair of large commercial-aircraft engines. Since July, 1991, Luftfahrttechnik Ludwigsfelde GmbH in Brandenburg/ Eastern Germany is also part of the Propulsion Systems Aircraft Division. By the name of MTU Ludwigsfelde, the company was integrated into the aeroengine maintenance and repair activities of MTU and is now responsible for engines in the low thrust class.
Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) and MTU established a European maintenance center (CSC) at Ludwigsfelde, covering the entire servicing, including maintenance and repair of all PW&C engines being operated in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
