New technologies for next generation aero engines focus on lower CO₂ and noise emissions

Munich, Germany, November 29, 2013 – The European Union’s new technology programme ENOVAL (ENgine mOdule VALidators) has been launched. Recently more than 140 representatives from the aerospace industry, from research and academic institutions as well as from the European Commission came together in Freising, near Munich, to kick-off the programme. In this project, which is led by MTU Aero Engines, 35 European partners are jointly developing new technologies for medium-sized, large and very large turbofan aero engines. The aim is to achieve reductions in CO₂ emissions of up to five percent and in noise of up to 1.3 decibels.
