CFM International has achieved another major milestone for the CFM56 engine family, producing the 30,000th CFM56 engine earlier this month.



In the 35 years since the first engines were produced, CFM has delivered more than 9,860 CFM56-5 engines to Airbus for the A320ceo and A340-200/-300 product lines and more than 17,300 CFM56-3/-7B engines for the Boeing Classic and Next-Generation 737 families.

CFM continues to maintain the highest production rate in the industry. 2016 is the peak year for the ubiquitous CFM56 family; the company plans to produce 1,700 engines this year.

CFM56 engines power the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321, A318 Elite, A319CJ/ A320CJ/A321CJ corporate jets, and A340-200/-300 models, in addition to the Boeing Classic 737-300/-400/-500, and Next-Generation 737-600/-700/-800/-900/-900ER and BBJ airplanes.
