Date: Issue 76 - July 2017

“In an exclusive Defence Turkey interview at IDEF 2017, Mr. Clemens Linden, CEO of EUROJET, and Mr. Mutalle Uluçay, Senior VP, Turkey, discuss their tangible dedication for doing business in Turkey. Mr. Linden shares details about EUROJET’s new local office and Team in Ankara that is now interfacing with all the key stakeholders. EUROJET competes in the TF-X Program Engine Bid with their ideal candidate engine for the new military aircraft market and for re-engining existing fighters” 

The EJ200 is a collaborative engine between Rolls-Royce, MTU, Avio and ITP – the shareholders behind EUROJET Turbo GmbH formed in the late 1980s to develop the engine for the Typhoon. The technology of the EJ200 makes it both smaller and less complex in layout than current engines of a similar thrust class, while giving it lower fuel consumption and an unprecedented power-to-weight ratio.  The first series production Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft were flown in February 2003. In service, the EJ200 exceeds or matches the most demanding international standards for operational support required by the US, Europe and other International customers.
