The CFM56-2 Turbofan Engine
22,000 - 24,000 POUNDS THRUST
Engine Overview
The CFM56-2 engine is the "granddaddy" of the CFM family of engines. It was the first high-bypass engine in the 10-ton class and forms the foundation for the rest of the CFM engines in service today. Its sturdy, efficient architecture has allowed CFM to become the most popular engine in the air. Thrust ranges from 22,000 to 24,000 lb. It flew first on re-engined Boeing 707 aircraft in 1982 and was soon chosen to re-engine KC-135 tankers for the USAF.
