EJ200 Engine
Built in Growth Potential
This Information focuses on the Eurofighter Typhoon''s powerplant, the EJ200 and the six high-end sub-systems incorporated into the aircraft''s overall system architecture. Please click on a tab to learn more about these systems.
The EJ200 has been designed with inherent growth potential up to 15%. Enhancements in the compression system and latest innovations in core engine technology could deliver up to 30% increased power. This performance improvement may also be traded for life cycle cost improvements, maintaining current thrust levels. This flexibility is enabled by the advanced digital electronic control system (DECMU), fully exploiting the advantages of the enhanced engine in line with operational requirements.
The EJ200 engine powering the Eurofighter Typhoon features from Tranche II a further step in engine control and monitoring technology, integrating all elements necessary for Digital Electronic engine Control and Monitoring into a single unit (known as DECMU) as well as incorporating potential for future enhancements. The EJ200 DECMU combines the functionality of the engine mounted Digital Electronic Control Unit (DECU) and the aircraft mounted Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU).
