This paper discusses the concept of MTU Aero Engines’ high-speed low-pressure turbine for the geared turbofan, which is based on the European Union research program ‘Clean’. Under the program, MTU developed the high-speed low-pressure turbine, the turbine centre frame, and an integrated heat exchanger. The paper also highlights that Pratt & Whitney, launched its geared turbofan (GTF) demonstrator project and asked MTU to be a partner. MTU has secured a 15 percent stake in either GTF version, which brings its high-speed low-pressure turbine, plus the first four stages of the high-pressure compressor.
