MTU's 2003 Summer Lectures are a new feature this Paris Air Show.
Aimed at politicians and visitors who really want to know what aerospace
is doing for the environment, the lectures cover a broad perspective
of issues from leading experts.
"Many don't know that MTU is involved in so many programs,"
says MTU CEO Dr. Klaus Steffens. "Take, for example, the Green
movement in Germany. It is a significant political power, yet it
doesn't know that one of the greatest contributors to a better environment
s MTU's technology. If every Lufthansa airliner had our new compressor,
a significant percentage of Germany's CO2 commitment would have
been achieved."
Lectures are at 4.30 p.m. daily in MTU's chalet, Row B, No 14.
