Overview by engine manufacturer & type
CFM INTERNATIONAL
CFM International is a 50:50 joint venture between General Electric and Snecma (Safran), founded
in 1974. The company is most famous for building CFM56 turbofans, an engine that now powers
more than 10,000 commercial and military aircraft including the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737
families. More than 25,000 CFM56s have been built since its introduction to the market in 1982.
The CFM56 core engine is derived from the F-100 turbofan, developed by General Electric for
military applications. The CFM56 first ran at the company’s Evendale plant on 20 June 1974 and the
first production models, installed in a re-engined DC-8-70 airframe, entered service in April 1982.
General Electric is responsible for design integration, the core engine and the main engine control
of the CFM56, while Snecma is responsible for the low-pressure system, gearbox, accessory
integration and engine installation.

ENGINE ALLIANCE
Engine Alliance is a 50:50 joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney which was
formed in August 1996 to develop, manufacture, sell and support a family of engines for new high-
capacity, long-range aircraft.
In mid-1996, Boeing announced it was beginning development of new growth derivatives of the 747,
the 747-500/600. Neither GE Aircraft Engines nor Pratt & Whitney had engines in their own product
lines in the necessary 70,000-85,000lb-thrust range. Each company had independently forecast
worldwide demand for aircraft in this market segment, and had determined that it might not be large
enough to justify the approximate $1 billion expense of developing a new centerline engine. A joint
venture between these otherwise aggressive competitors seemed the logical solution and so, on
28 August 1996, GE and Pratt & Whitney established the joint venture company GE-P&W Engine
Alliance, to develop the GP7000 engine.
The idea was to use the core competencies of each parent company to design, develop, certify and
manufacture a state-of-the-art high bypass turbofan engine for 450-seat and larger four-engined
aircraft. Boeing later shelved its immediate plans for a growth 747 version while Airbus began
to consider development of an aircraft called the A3XX, planned as the largest-ever commercial
transport aircraft.
Airbus approached Engine Alliance about powering the new airplane, and received preliminary
development support in the form of various GP7000 engine designs for the A3XX between 1998
and 2000. Airbus made the commercial relationship official on 19 December 2000 with the launch
of the A380 programme, and on 19 May 2001, the GP7000 programme was fully established when
Air France selected the GP7270 to power the 10 A380-800 passenger aircraft it had on order.
GP7200
The main application for Engine Alliance’s first engine
was originally the Boeing 747-500/600X projects, before
these were cancelled as a result of a lack of demand from
airlines.
The GP7000 family is derived from the GE90 and PW4000

series. It is built on the GE90 core and the PW4000 low
spool heritage.
The GP7200 engine was brought into service on the Airbus

A380 in August 2008 by Emirates. The GP7200 is one of
the two engine options for this aircraft and was designed

GENERAL ELECTRIC
General Electric’s aerospace division, GE Aviation, is part of GE Technology Infrastructure – itself
part of the conglomerate General Electric. GE Aviation operated under the name of General Electric
Aircraft Engines (GEAE) until September 2005.
The General Electric Company built its first turbine engine in 1941 when it began development of
Whittle-type turbojets under a technical exchange arrangement between the British and American
governments. GE’s first entry into the civil engine market was in the late 1950s, with a commercial
version of the J79 designated CJ805. In 1967, GE announced the development of the CF6 high-
bypass turbofan for future widebody airliners.
GE’s presence in the widebody engine market has expanded steadily since the early 1970s, and the
manufacturer’s engines now power the largest proportion of the world’s active commercial widebody
fleet, with a share of 46%, and regional aircraft, with a 62% share.

INTERNATIONAL AERO ENGINES

International Aero Engines is a joint venture that was originally set up between Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-
Royce, MTU Aero Engines and Japanese Aero Engine Corporation (JAEC). IAE was formed in 1983 to
develop an engine for the 150-seat single-aisle market. In October 2011, Rolls-Royce agreed to leave
the consortium, making P&W the majority shareholder. The remaining members of IAE have agreed to
extend their partnerships to 2045.
V2500
The V2500 powerplant was introduced into service in
May 1989 on Airbus A320s operated by Adria Airways.
The engine also powers the A319 and A321 variants and the
Boeing MD-90.
There are three models of the V2500 engine – the V2500-A1,

V2500-A5 and V2500-D5 – and each IAE partner contributes
an individual module to the engine’s construction.

PRATT & WHITNEY

Pratt & Whitney was established in 1925 by Frederick Rentschler as part of United Aircraft and Transport
Corporation (which later became known simply as the United Aircraft Corporation, and from 1975 as United
Technologies). P&W manufactures products widely used in both civil and military aircraft.
P&W began producing commercial jet engines in the late 1950s for the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-
8, with models including the JT3 and the JT4A. The 727, 737 and DC-9 were later powered by the JT8D.
P&W commercial engines have logged more than 1 billion hours of flight powering both the narrowbody and
widebody aircraft that fly passengers and cargo around the world. In October 2011, P&W and Rolls-Royce
unveiled plans to form a new joint venture for the development of new engines powering future mid-size
aircraft in the 120- to 130-seat segment.

Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and Charles Rolls, and produced its first aircraft engine in
1914. The company has produced commercial jet engines since the 1950s, beginning with the Avon for the
de Havilland Comet and the Sud Aviation Caravelle. The Conway engine came to prominence in the early
1960s and was fitted to the 707, DC-8 and the Vickers VC10. The Spey engine, also produced in the 1960s,
was designed for the BAC One-Eleven and the three-engined Hawker Siddeley Trident.
The development of a high-bypass turbofan engine forced Rolls-Royce into bankruptcy and it was nationalised
by the British government in 1971. However, the company survived and, thanks to the RB211 – the first true
three-spool engine – it became a global player in the airline industry.

In 1997, the RB211-524G/H engines were upgraded with
high pressure (HP) turbine systems – technology developed
on the Trent 700 engine family. These variants (designated Trent
as RB211-524G/H-T) are 200lb lighter, offer 40% lower NOx

Some are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them. With the
LEAP engine, you get a little of both. It’s a legend in the making, with

that innovation comes from, blame the parents.
