Type :- Turbofan
Manufacturer :- EuroJet Turbo GmbH
First run :-1991
Major applications :-Eurofighter Typhoon
The Eurojet consortium was formed in 1986 to co-ordinate and manage the project largely based on XG-40 technology. In common with the XG-40, the EJ200 has a three-stage fan with a high pressure ratio, five-stage low-aspect-ratio HP compressor with active tip-clearance control, a combustor using advanced cooling and thermal protection, and single-stage HP and LP turbines with PM discs and low-density single crystal blades." A reheat (i.e. afterburner) system provides thrust augmentation. The variable area final nozzle is a convergent-divergent design. Unusual for an advanced military turbofan, the fan lacks variable camber inlet guide vanes.
In December 2006, Eurojet completed deliveries of the 363 EJ200s for the Tranche 1 Eurofighters. Tranche 2 aircraft require 519 EJ200s. As of December 2006[update], Eurojet was contracted to produce a total of 1,400 engines for the Eurofighter project.
