EJ200 Technology

The EJ200 engine is the latest generation military turbofan engine in the 20,000 lbf thrust class. It is designed to fulfil the most demanding requirements of a fighter aircraft, in particular the Eurofighter Typhoon. The EJ200’s advanced technology supercedes that of its competitors, delivering high thrust-to-weight ratio with a simple engine architecture. The EJ200 provides the power for the multi-role capability of the Eurofighter Typhoon. The design of the engine allows for maximum availability and minimum operating costs throughout the life of the weapon system.

The EJ200 is a two-spool turbo-based fan with modular design. The wide-chord fan with integrally bladed discs (blisks) is light and aerodynamically efficient and possesses high levels of resistance to foreign object damage. The advanced aerodynamics employed in the fan allows optimum operation without the need for inlet guide vanes.
