THE CFM56 ENGINE FAMILY

The world’s best-selling jet engine.

SETTING THE STANDARD

The CFM56 engine set the industry standard for single-aisle commercial jet engines that holds today. Owing its success to its exceptional reliability and performance, CFM56 was built on over four decades of experience and technological excellence. With more than 33,000 engines delivered to date, it powers more than 600 operators worldwide.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Customer needs propel CFM’s technology investments. When new technologies mature, CFM incorporates the advances into production standards and re-invigorate the fleet already flying through upgrade kits. In 2007, Tech Insertion became the production configuration for the CFM56-5B PIP and the CFM56-7BE engines as of 2011, further providing operators with significant improvements in fuel consumption, emissions levels, and maintenance costs.
