PROVEN EXECUTION
Proven performance
CFM has always met its commitments by delivering reliability for all customers. To date, the company has developed 21 different engine models, all delivered on time and on spec as well as 8 engines upgrades, certified on time and on spec. Today, this textbook case of FrenchAmerican industrial partnership can be summarized in three figures: 25,000 engines delivered on time, more than 630 million flight-hours, and a fleet-wide 99.98% dispatch reliability rate. CFM has leveraged all of this unrivaled experience for the LEAP engine program, and the basic principle hasnt changed: give customers the best possible engine, today and for years to come. CFM has a long history of constantly investing in its product lines to deliver greater value. This is the approach the company is using to develop the LEAP engine and will continue to develop new technologies that will be incorporated into the engine throughout its service life, as well as in a new generation of engines.

tECHnOLOGICAL
CFM has always invested in technologies that enhance its products to make sure that customers continue to improve their own performance. The best-selling CFM56 family successively introduced full authority digital engine control (FADEC), several generations of 3-D aero design and, most recently, the suite of improvements dubbed Tech Insertion in 2007 and the CFM56-7BE and CFM56-5P PIP (Performance Improvement Package) in 2011. All of these enhancements were not only incorporated in new engines, but also available on engines already in service. Over the years, CFM has decreased specific fuel consumption by more than 5% and increased thrust by 16%, while reducing emissions and significantly decreasing maintenance costs.
COntInuOuS IMPROVEMEnt
This long-standing philosophy of continuous improvement, part of CFMs DNA, is already an integral part of the LEAP family, and will be pursued throughout its service life. CFM has also introduced lighter and stronger materials. The companys experience with composites reaches back some 30 years, unrivaled among aero-engine manufacturers. Research is ongoing and the product line will eventually add an increasing number of thermo-structural composite parts to reap the benefits of both the lighter weight and higher temperature capabilities these materials provide.

Core: the eCore 1, eCore 2, and eCore 3 demonstrators have logged more than 400 hours of comprehensive testing to validate aerodynamics, performance, aeromechanical response and operability. In addition, tests on the TAPS II (Twin-Annular, Pre-Swirl) combustor, system dynamics, airfoil aeromechanical properties, and operability have validated targeted fuel efficiency and operational performance. the low-pressure turbine has shown outstanding efficiency during extensive tests.
Mascot test
The engine will begin flight tests in 2014, leading to engine certification in 2015 and entry into commercial service in 2016.

Production ramp-up
CFM maintains the highest production rate in the industry and the company is modernizing and expanding its facilities to ensure the ramp-up in production for the new LEAP engine. Both GE and Snecma have added new manufacturing capability at sites throughout the U.S. and France, making a combined capital investment of nearly $800 million U.S. The company will be ramping up CFM56 production between 2013 and 2016 to more than 1,550 engines before it begins to transition to LEAP engine production. The full transition is expected by about 2020 with an anticipated production rate of 1,700 engines per year. CFM will continue to build CFM56 spare engines for several years.

CFM has designed, tested, certified, produced and supported the largest number of commercial jet engines in the single-aisle market over the last 30 years. This achievement is anchored in the development and continuous improvement of world-class facilities on both sides of the Atlantic, with each partner responsible for half the workload. GE is in charge of the core, comprising the high-pressure compressor and turbine and the combustor. Snecma designs and builds the low-pressure section, including the fan, the low-pressure compressor and turbine, and the accessory gearbox. Final assembly of CFM56 engines is performed by GE in Evendale, Ohio, near Cincinnati and by Snecma at its facilities in Villaroche, France near Paris.

IN SINGLE-AISLE POWERPLANTS
Each version of this engine is being optimized to meet the aircraft manufacturers specific requirements, delivering maximum performance in terms of reliability, fuel consumption and maintenance costs. CFM already has a very healthy backlog of orders for all three LEAP-powered airplane applications. The LEAP engine family will maintain CFMs long-standing leadership position in the single-aisle segment, for which there is a projected demand for more than 40,000 engines over the next 20 years.
