CFM is increasing the pace and breadth of testing for its RISE advanced propulsion technology program with preparations underway with Airbus for subscale aircraft performance wind tunnel tests.
An open-fan engine would be less efficient than a more conventional ducted turbofan on a future narrowbody aircraft, says RTX Chief Scientist Michael Winter.
This week’s Flight Friday looks at narrowbody engine utilization by Asia-Pacific operators (which in this analysis excludes China and India operators).
CFM International's transatlantic nature may wreak havoc for the joint venture partners GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines if the trade war materializes.
A larger version of the A220 has always been firmly planned. But much to the displeasure of key customers, a launch decision keeps moving to the right.
As part of CFM's RISE engine demonstration program, wind tunnel tests of a smaller-scale open fan have been found to substantiate computational analysis.
An engine control software fix to address in-aircraft smoke risks following major 737 MAX CFM Leap 1B engine failures should be available in 2026, Boeing says.
Airbus engineers do not see any major roadblock to integrating an open-fan engine being pioneered by CFM International into a next-generation narrowbody.
