Defence Turkey: Mr. Linden, first of all thank you very much for this Interview. Could you please inform us about Eurojet?
Eurojet (Eurojet Turbo GmbH) is a military aerospace engine consortium that was setup in 1986 to manage all aspects of the EJ200 project for the core nation’s programme and to provide the engines for the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, from the earliest development right through to the current Tranche III production. It was set up as a joint venture by its shareholders: Rolls-Royce (UK), MTU Aero Engines (Germany), ITP (Spain), and Avio Aero (Italy).Each of these companies has a percentage workshare in the core programme, providing the engines for their own respective nation’s airforces.
