Eurojet EJ200

The Eurojet EJ200 is a military low-bypass afterburning turbofan built by the EuroJet Turbo GmbH consortium as the powerplant of the Eurofighter Typhoon. Its design is largely based on the Rolls-Royce XG-40 technology demonstrator, which Rolls-Royce began developing in 1984 with costs met by the British government and Rolls-Royce itself, and the Eurojet consortium was formed in 1986 to manage the project. The engine has a three-stage fan, a five-stage high-pressure compressor, an annular combustor and single-stage high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, with a reheat system for thrust augmentation and a convergent-divergent final nozzle. It produces 60 kN dry and 90 kN with reheat. Beyond the Typhoon it has been chosen to power the Bloodhound land speed record car.
