HALLBERGMOOS and PARIS, June 15 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
EUROJET Turbo GmbH, the leading European military engine
consortium is exhibiting the EJ200 engine at the Paris Air Show 2009.
Visitors to the Eurofighter pavilion (opposite the EUROJET Chalet, No.
A362-363) have the opportunity to view the advanced technology of the EJ200
engine, which powers the Eurofighter Typhoon. The display includes an
interactive engine monitor offering a unique look inside the engine and a
demonstration of how it operates.
EUROJET is contracted to produce more than 1,500 EJ200 engines
to power a total of 707 Eurofighter Typhoon swing-role combat aircraft,
ordered by six nations. More than 550 engines are already delivered to the
customers. The Eurofighter Typhoon fleets operated by the air forces of
Germany, The United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Austria have amassed more than
120,000 engine flying hours. In addition, the first EJ200 production engine
has achieved the significant milestone of 1,000 engine flying hours onboard a
Royal Air Force (RAF) Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. Achieved without the need
for unscheduled overhaul, this accomplishment demonstrates the superior
reliability of the EJ200, the next generation power plant representing the
very latest in cutting-edge technology, including advanced integrated Health
Monitoring to deliver class-leading reliability, maintainability and Through
Life Cost.
