History
In 1954, BMW formed BMW Studiengesellschaft für Triebwerkbau GmbH as part of West German efforts to resume aircraft engine production.{{cite web |url= http://www.gbjyearbook.com/yb_news_story.html?release=4013 |title= 75 years: MTU Aero Engines celebrates anniversary |work= Global Business Jet |publisher= Stansted News Limited| accessdate= 20 December 2010}} The company was renamed BMW Triebwerkbau GmbH in 1957, and began producing General Electric J79-11A turbojets for the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter program.
In 1960, MAN AG acquired 50 percent of BMW Triebwerkbau GmbH. MAN AG purchased the remainder of the company in 1965, and merged it with MAN Turbomotoren GmbH to form MAN Turbo GmbH.
In Autumn 1968, MAN Turbo and Daimler-Benz formed Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Turbomotoren GmbH (Motoren- und Turbinen-Union München GmbH from 1969) as a 50/50 joint venture, combining their aircraft engine development and manufacturing interests.{{cite web |url= http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1970/1970%20-%200036.html |date= 1 January 1970 |title= AERO ENGINES 1970 |work= Flight International |publisher= Flight International |accessdate= 20 December 2010}} MAN Turbo remained a separate company under MAN AG.
