EJ200's design emerged in the late 1980s following the formation of EUROJET Turbo GmbH in 1986 to co-ordinate and manage the project. Much of the technology of the Eurojet was developed from the UK Ministry of Defence's Advanced Core Military Engine, the XG-40. EUROJET's partner companies are Rolls-Royce, Avio of Italy, ITP of Spain and MTU Aero Engines of Germany.

SNECMA were in the original 1984 consortium, but dropped out when France decided to build their own smaller fighter, the Dassault Rafale, supposedly to improve export opportunities. France went on to develop, fairly rapidly, the SNECMA M88, which has a similar cycle to that of the EJ200, but is smaller and lower in thrust.

The technology of the EJ200 makes it both smaller and simpler in layout than current powerplants while giving it lower fuel consumption and an unprecedented power-to-weight ratio - all vital factors in enhancing the multi-mission performance and effectiveness of combat aircraft. Power-to-weight ratio is a measure commonly used when comparing various vehicles (or engines), including automobiles, motorcycles and aircraft. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with military aviation. ...
