Compressors are the centerpiece of an engine. MTU Aero Engines has been developing, manufacturing and repairing high-pressure compressors (HPCs) for over 50 years. HPC design is the supreme discipline in engine construction. Those who master it are right at the top of the engine league. MTU has also been involved in turbine technology for decades. The company is the world’s technology leader when it comes to low-pressure turbines (LPTs) that operate at maximum efficiency and minimum weight. Turbine center frames (TCFs) are another of MTU's core competencies. MTU develops and manufactures them for engines that power long-haul airliners. MTU engine components are among the best the world market has to offer.
