Then, Christophe Bruneau, EPI’s President introduced Europrop International and the TP400-D6 engine, highlighting the expertise of the four partners ITP, MTU Aero Engines, Rolls-Royce and Safran Aircraft Engines in the program.

Then, MTU and Europrop International opened the doors of the TP400-D6 test bench where all the TP400-D6 are tested before certification. Last February, the Pass of Test celebrated the 10^th anniversary of engines tested and delivered to Airbus in Sevilla. In fact, the very first engine for the Airbus A400M passed its first test in Ludwigsfelde’s test bench on January the 20th 2008.

The IHEDN visit highlighted the international cooperation between France and Germany in the aviation’s field with an emphasis on Defence economics and European consolidation.
