German engineering is superior because they take pride in craftsmanship. They value craftsmanship and value their CRAFTSMEN paying them reasonably. As a gesture of love towards their fellow human, they make quality, durable goods. They have a conscience that drives them to make quality products with quality materials. A centuries long tradition of tradesmen. They work and study and work some more. Things last. This is unlike other countries. Not everyone needs to go to college.

As a British engineer on yachts and previously on large commercial ships I can tell you we normally refer to MTU as multiple trouble units. This fascination with German engineering is counterproductive - yes I went to Friedreichavon and it is a beautiful place - but have also seen the downside when they spontaneously explode at high RPM. Those were modern engines but not the same as featured in this video- my experience suggests that they will be the same. I would like to produce a video explaining why CAT engines are far better than MTU - again from my personal experience!
@rahulmandala49304 ай бұрын
Let me just start by saying that I highly respect your opinion and I don't EVER intend to undermine your personal anecdote/experience, but if MTU engines are as troublesome as you seem to suggest, then why is it that MTU supplies everything from farming machinery and construction all the way to even Power generation? Genuine question. Why is it that that many industries such as Aero engines in Aviationry, Mobile cranes, Heavy land/rail/defense vehicles, the oil and gas industries, and finally the marine industry rely on and use MTU engines and sources of propulsion from MTU? Maybe you've dealt with a few duds in your experience and maybe that's why you aren't in favor of MTU engines. That's OK. However, just going by your sole conclusion, if MTU has such a wide outreach that they have and if they supposedly make engines that spontaneously combust at high RPM, one would think MTU would be royally screwed as a company. However, it does seem that their services are still highly trusted. Along with having a good warranty in case of a mechanical issue, MTU also has the majority of the market in larger boats and that's just the Marine side of MTU engineering we're talking about. If we're talking aviation: Literally, Around 1/3 of all aircraft currently in service worldwide have MTU components on board. One of MTU's notable contributions are behind that of the GTF engine family by Pratt and Whitney, in which MTU’s share of work contributing to the GTF engine family is as much as 18 percent, depending on the application. Of which, MTU is responsible for the high-speed low-pressure turbine design as well as the first four stages of the high-pressure compressor, but MTU also manufactures brush seals and nickel blisks for high-pressure compressor components that fall outside the design responsibility. The GTF series of engines are featured in the Airbus A320 NEO, A220, and Embraer Gen 2 E-Jets. When it comes to aviation, Another notable example in which MTU has some share of development hand is behind that of the GE9X engine, another important engine that's currently in use in the Boeing 777X. There are so many more projects in which MTU has had a hand in and those were just 2 examples of their aid and developmental contribution in the Aviation world. Aviation is one of the largest playing fields that MTU is a key player in.

you see we who play the game do so by winning and learning the game because if we don’t we are forgotten and your here because of him( but you have knowledge and abilities i don’t because you were raised in that so the effects that we have you don’t. this is why we are a team i’ll get you up to speed and take care of the rest you learn and then produce what will keep us going it’s reality we will earn every single thing we get so know one can tell you that you were given anything or it’s because of who you are.
