engine analysis
2014 deliveries and year-end backlog overview
Two new powerplants make their debut in 2015, both on Airbus aircraft: the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB on the A350 XWB and the Pratt
& Whitney PW1000G geared turbofan on the A320neo. P&W is vying for supremacy in the single-aisle market against powerful
incumbent CFM International, which is the alternative choice on the A320neo and the exclusive supplier on Boeing’s 737 Max
family. In the regional arena, P&W’s high exposure across the product offerings has resulted in an expanding market share.

Overview & specifications

AVIADVIGATEL
Aviadvigatel is a Russian design bureau founded in 1939 that specialises in developing civil and
military aircraft engines. The company is the successor of the Soviet Soloviev Design Bureau which
was responsible for the D-30 engine that is in service today on aircraft including the Il-62, Il-76, Tu-
134 and Tu-154. The company is responsible for the PS-90 engine and is currently developing the
new PD-14 for the new Russian Irkut MC-21 airliner. Aviadvigatel has now merged with the Perm
Motors Group.

CFM INTERNATIONAL
CFM International is a 50:50 joint venture between General Electric and Snecma (Safran) that was
founded in 1974. The company is most famous for building CFM56 turbofans, an engine that now
powers nearly 12,000 commercial and military aircraft including the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737
families. More than 28,000 CFM56s have been built since its introduction to the market in 1982.

The CFM56 core engine is derived from the General Electric F101 turbofan, developed by GE for
military applications. The CFM56 first ran at the company’s Evendale plant on 20 June 1974 and
the first production models, installed in a re-engined McDonnell Douglas DC-8-70 airframe, entered
service in April 1982.

The work split for the CFM56 engine takes advantage of the technological expertise and achievements
of both Snecma and GE. GE builds the CFM56 core. The engine’s core is the heart of any engine and
is made up of three components: high-pressure compressor, combustor and high-pressure turbine.
Snecma is responsible for the low-pressure turbine in the rear of the engine, which drives the CFM56
fan in the front, also engineered by Snecma.

powers all models of the family, including the A318, A319,
A320, A321, as well as A340-200 and A340-300 aircraft.
The CFM56 is the most widely-used engine on commercial
narrowbodies, with a current market share of 69%.

The CFM56 line has six engine models in its portfolio


including the CFM56-2, CFM56-3, CFM56-5A, CFM56-5C,
CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B.

The popularity of the CFM56 has created a global network of


maintenance centres, run by Snecma, GE and third parties.

ENGINE ALLIANCE
Engine Alliance is a 50:50 joint venture between General Electric and P&W that was formed in 1996
to develop, manufacture, sell and support a family of engines for new high-capacity, long-range
aircraft.

In mid-1996, Boeing announced it was beginning development of new growth derivatives of the
747, the 747-500/600. Neither GE Aircraft Engines nor P&W had engines in their own product
lines in the necessary 70,000-85,000lb-thrust range. Each company had independently forecast
worldwide demand for aircraft in this market segment, and had determined that it might not be large
enough to justify the approximate $1 billion expense of developing a new centerline engine. A joint
venture between these otherwise aggressive competitors seemed the logical solution and so, in
August 1996, GE and P&W established the joint venture company GE-P&W Engine Alliance, to
develop the GP7000 engine.

The idea was to use the core competencies of each parent company to design, develop, certify and
manufacture a state-of-the-art high bypass turbofan engine for 450-seat and larger four-engined
aircraft. Boeing later shelved its immediate plans for a growth 747 version while Airbus began
to consider development of an aircraft called the A3XX, planned as the largest-ever commercial
transport aircraft.

Airbus approached Engine Alliance about powering the new aircraft, and received preliminary
development support in the form of various GP7000 engine designs for the A3XX between 1998
and 2000. Airbus made the commercial relationship official in December 2000 with the launch of the
A380 programme, and in May 2001, the GP7000 programme was fully established when Air France
selected the GP7270 to power the 10 A380-800 passenger aircraft it had on order.

GP7200 (2008-present) were in service, of which 86 were powered by the GP7200,

The GP7000 family is derived from the GE90 and PW4000
series. It is built on the GE90 core and the PW4000 low
spool heritage. The engine is certificated at 76,500lb-thrust
and 81,500lb-thrust.

The GP7200 engine was brought into service on the


A380 in August 2008 by Emirates. The GP7200 is one of
the two engine options for this aircraft and was designed
specifically for it.

GENERAL ELECTRIC
General Electric’s aerospace division, GE Aviation, operated under the name of General Electric
Aircraft Engines (GEAE) until September 2005.

The General Electric Company built its first turbine engine in 1941 when it began development of
Whittle-type turbojets under a technical exchange arrangement between the British and American
governments. GE’s first entry into the civil engine market was in the late 1950s, with a commercial
version of the J79 designated CJ805. In 1967, GE announced the development of the CF6 high-
bypass turbofan for future widebody airliners.

GE’s presence in the widebody engine market has expanded steadily since the early 1970s, and the
manufacturer’s engines now power the largest proportion of the world’s active commercial widebody
fleet, with a share of 46%, and regional aircraft, with a 62% share.

INTERNATIONAL AERO ENGINES


International Aero Engines is a joint venture that was originally set up between P&W, Rolls-Royce, MTU
Aero Engines and Japanese Aero Engine Corporation (JAEC). IAE was formed in 1983 to develop an
engine for the 150-seat single-aisle market. In October 2011, R-R agreed to leave the consortium,
making P&W the majority shareholder. The remaining members of IAE have agreed to extend their
partnerships to 2045.

V2500 (1989-present)

The V2500 powerplant was introduced into service in May


1989 on Airbus A320s operated by Adria Airways. The engine
also powers the A319 and A321 variants, the Boeing MD-90
and the military Embraer KC-390.

There are three commercial models of the V2500 engine – the


V2500-A1, V2500-A5 and V2500-D5 – and each IAE partner
contributes an individual module to the engine’s construction.
P&W provides the combustor and high-pressure turbine,
R-R the high-pressure compressor, JAEC the fan and low-

PRATT & WHITNEY


Pratt & Whitney was established in 1925 by Frederick Rentschler as part of United Aircraft and Transport
Corporation (which later became known simply as the United Aircraft Corporation, and from 1975 as United
Technologies). P&W manufactures products widely used in both civil and military aircraft. P&W began
producing commercial jet engines in the late 1950s for the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8, with models
including the JT3 and the JT4A. The 727, 737 and DC-9 were later powered by the JT8D. P&W commercial
engines have logged more than 1 billion hours of flight powering both the narrowbody and widebody aircraft
that fly passengers and cargo around the world. In September 2013, P&W and R-R announced that they
had abandoned plans for a joint venture to develop an engine to power future narrowbodies. P&W added
that they would independently continue to invest in and develop applications of its geared turbofan engine
to power the next generation of mid-sized aircraft.

Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and Charles Rolls, and produced its first aircraft engine in
1914. The company has produced commercial jet engines since the 1950s, beginning with the Avon for the
de Havilland Comet and the Sud Aviation Caravelle. The Conway engine came to prominence in the early
1960s and was fitted on the 707, DC-8 and the Vickers VC10. The Spey engine, also produced in the 1960s,
was designed for the BAC One-Eleven and the three-engined Hawker Siddeley Trident.

The development of a high-bypass turbofan engine forced R-R into bankruptcy and it was nationalised by the
British government in 1971. However, the company survived and, thanks to the RB211 – the first true three-
spool engine – it became a global player in the airline industry. R-R engines are now in service around the
world on more than 20 types of commercial aircraft including various narrowbody, widebody and regional jets
and powers more than 2,000 aircraft.

In September 2013, R-R and P&W announced that they had abandoned plans for a joint venture to develop
an engine to power future narrowbodies. The two engine makers had in October 2011 declared their intention
to pursue the collaboration, to be focused on high-bypass ratio geared turbofan technology to power aircraft
in the 120- to 230-seat segment.

In February 2014, R-R announced the development of two new Trent-based engines – ready for service in
2020 and 2025 – which it says will deliver fuel efficiencies of up to 10% over the Trent XWB.

almost 12.5 million flight cycles. Production of the 717 ceased in 2006 and there were more
than 120 BR700-powered 717s in service in May 2015.
The RB211-535 entered service in 1983 as a launch engine
on the new 757. In 1988, American Airlines ordered 50 757s
powered by the RB211-524E4. It is more reliable and quieter
than its direct competitor, the PW2037, but is not as efficient.
The engine was also selected to power the Tupolev Tu-204-
120. It entered service in 1992 and was the first Western
engine to power a Russian airliner. In 1990, it achieved
180min ETOPS approval on the 757.

The RB211-535 is currently in service with more than 60


operators and powers 566 aircraft including more than 450
Boeing 757s around the world. It has accumulated over 60
