RISE program : Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines

Change the engine, change the future

Building on four decades of investment that made our engines quieter and more efficient, the RISE program is accelerating development of uncompromising new propulsion technologies that will pave the way for next generation aircraft.

These technologies will be the foundation for the next CFM engine generation that could be available by the second half of the 2030s. Program goals include improving fuel efficiency by more than 20 percent compared to today’s engines, as well as testing technologies for compatibility with alternative fuels.
