The EJ200 engine, a product of collaboration between Rolls-Royce, MTU Aero Engines, ITP Aero and Avio Aero, has consistently demonstrated exceptional performance since its first production delivery.
Rolls-Royce will play a pivotal role in the engine module production, contributing its unmatched expertise and innovation to meet the demands of the Spanish Air Force.
The contract was signed at Getafe Air Force Base in Madrid by General Manager of NETMA Air Vice Marshall (AVM) Simon Ellard (ret.), CEO of EUROJET Ralf Breiling, and covers EJ200 engines for the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft in the second phase of the Halcón acquisition project.
The engines, which will be assembled at the ITP Aero Facility in Ajalvir, are scheduled for delivery starting in 2029. With its unprecedented performance record, combined with multi-role capability and highest availability at competitive life-cycle costs, the EJ200 engine is perfectly set to meet air force requirements both for today and for the future.
Since delivery of the first production engine in 2003, over 1,400 EJ200 production engines have been delivered to Air Force customer fleets of nine nations, and the EJ200 engine has achieved in excess of 1.5million engine flying hours.
