At CFM International, caring for the environment is printed in our DNA. When our first commercial engines entered service on the re-engined DC-8, we reduced that aircraft's CO2 emissions by more than 20%. And that was just the beginning. As the number of CFM engines in service increased, aircraft emissions decreased. As the best-selling engine on single-aisle aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, CFM engines continue to contribute to reducing overall airline emissions.
Today, just as at our inception, CFM is an industry leader in protecting the environment. We produced the first low NOx dual annular combustor, and are introducing improved combustors in current generation engines to further reduce their NOx baseline emissions by 25% or more. Both CO2 and NOx

emissions from our engines are lower today than ever and as we look forward, CFM researchers, with the full backing of our parents Snecma (SAFRAN Group) and GE, are studying ways to significantly reduce emissions even further.
Investing in a CFM56 engine is a wise environmental choice. CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines being delivered today are the only engines in their class certified to be compliant with CAEP6 standards, which are even more stringent than the environmental regulations currently in force. As a matter of fact we're as much as 25h% below the CAPE6 NOx requirement.
You can breathe easy when CFM is underwing.
