The CFM56-5B Turbo Fan Engine

22,000 - 33,000 POUNDS THRUST

Engine Overview

The CFM56-5B is the engine of choice for the A320 family, having been selected to power nearly 60 percent of the A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft ordered. One of the primary factors behind the CFM56-5B's broad-based market acceptance has been its simple, rugged architecture, which gives it the highest reliability, durability and repairability in its class. More than 4,000 CFM56-5B engines have been delivered and this fleet has accumulated more than 50 million flight hours.

CFM keeps investing in technology enhancements that make the CFM56-5B even better. In Oct. 2007, Tech Insertion became the production configuration for all CFM56-5B engines. Tech Insertion provides operators with significant improvements in fuel consumption, emissions levels, and maintenance costs.
