MTU Aero Engines will be presenting its passion for engines at the Dubai Airshow from 17th-21st November. The company will be highlighting its full-spectrum of expertise at booth #830, from innovative commercial propulsion concepts like the Flying Fuel Cell™ (FFC) to in-service engines like the an EJ200 engine that powers the military aircraft Eurofighter Typhoon as well as a comprehensive multimedia exhibit of its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) portfolio.

"It's a pleasure to return to the Dubai Airshow once again and we're looking forward to engaging with customers, partners, and all those interested in our wide range of engine expertise," says Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer at MTU Aero Engines. "The Middle East holds significant strategic value for MTU – not only as a center for forward-looking technologies and sustainable innovations, but also as a dynamic and expanding aviation hub with distinct maintenance requirements."

Future-oriented technology

MTU Aero Engines is working steadily and with determination on its Flying Fuel Cell. It has reached some important milestones over the past months: The design for the company's Flying Fuel CellTM (FFC) has been nailed down, stack manufacturing for the demonstrator has started, the eMoSys electric motor was successfully tested for the first time, and the first test cell went into operation in Munich. Beyond this, MTU Aero Engines is leading the Clean Aviation technology project HEROPS (Hydrogen-Electric Zero Emission Propulsion System). Launched in early 2024, HEROPS aims to develop innovative technologies for a climate-neutral, hydrogen-powered electric powertrain based on MTU's FFC that will be able to power regional airplanes starting in 2035.
