In addition, the contract is expected to enable the company to keep the price stable even as the number of engine flying hours increases. This gives a lower support price per engine flying hour that is satisfactory to both sides.

Contract work will be performed in-country by the four Eurojet partner companies, including Rolls-Royce, MTU Aero Engines, ITP, and Avio Aero, for their own country’s fleet over the next three years.

The EJ200 is a derivative of the Rolls-Royce XG-40 technology demonstrator, and a total of 1,400 engines have been ordered for the Eurofighter project in 2006.
