German engine manufacturer, MTU Aero Engines, and U.S.-based helicopter manufacturer Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, have jointly entered into an agreement for MTU to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul of the engines for the German Air Force with new heavy lift helicopters to replace its aging CH-53G fleet of aircraft. Sikorsky, MTU Aero Engines and GE Aviation have been partnering on the CH-53K for the U.S. Marine Corps since its inception. This heavy lift helicopter is powered by three GE Aviation T408-GE-400 turboshaft engines. MTU Aero Engines developed and is now in production for the power turbine of the T408.
