The innovative power


GP7000 – technology features
The GP7000 is a engine family for long distance, Key features:
widebody aircraft and has been developed for the • Certified at 340 kN of thrust
Airbus A380, an all-new 550 seat aircraft with a • Built on GE90 and PW4000 mature reliability
8,150 nautical mile range. The GP7000 has a thrust and leading-edge technology
range of 311–340 kN and a fan diameter of 2.96 m. • Superior fuel efficiency
• World-class emissions and low noise
MTU Aero Engines is Germany’s largest aero engine • Thrust growth capability up to 363 kN
manufacturer. MTU is a partner of General Electric
and Pratt & Whitney, who in 1996 established the Engine models:
Engine Alliance for this GP7000 engine program. • GP7270
MTU is responsible for the development and manu- • GP7277
facture of the turbine center frame and the low- • GP7272
pressure turbine as well as for the production of
high-pressure turbine parts. The engine is part of Planes powered by GP7200:
the MTU Maintenance portfolio. • Airbus A380-800

The GP7000 is derived from two of the most suc-


cessful widebody engine programs in aviation his-
tory—the GE90 and PW4000 families. Incorporating
state-of-the-art technologies the GP7000 offers un-
precedented performance, reliability, environmental
levels and customer value.
