For the first time in its history, German aircraft engine manufacturer MTU will present technologies at the Paris Airshow for electric motors to enable zero-emission flight. “Zero-emission flight is the big goal for commercial aviation, and it is MTU’s vision,” the company said.

MTU in April acquired eMoSys, a German electric motor developer and small-volume manufacturer, to expand its know-how and activities in electrification. Along with eMoSys, MTU plans to accelerate the use of electric motors in aviation and make them market-ready.
