STATE-OF-THE ART
TECHNOLOGY
Technology drives performance
The overall performance of an aircraft
engine is the sum of an optimized
architecture and the technologies used
in all major components: the low- and
high-pressure compressor and turbine,
combustor, accessory equipment, digital
engine control unit, and even the nacelle.
Successfully integrating all of these factors
demands extensive experience and a
portfolio of world-class technologies.
The new LEAP engine embodies the expertise
and technologies developed over the last
four decades by GE and Snecma.
The LEAP engine combines breakthrough
technologies with proven performance,
drawing on CFM’s experience as a world
leader in the narrow-body market.
For the new family of advanced LEAP
turbofans, CFM chose technologies that
bring high propulsive efficiency, low fuel
consumption, and low maintenance costs,
including a larger diameter, low-speed fan
for a higher bypass ratio and an advanced
high-efficiency core.
Advanced LEAP technologies include carbon
fiber composites, ceramic matrix composites,
and other leading-edge materials, as well as
fourth-generation 3-D aerodynamic design
features developed by world-class R&D
teams and proven through extensive
testing and hundreds of millions of hours
of operational experience.
The result is an outstanding powerplant
ready to deliver a host of benefits to CFM
customers.

COntInuOuS IMPROVEMEnt
CFM has always invested in technologies
that enhance its products to make sure that
customers continue to improve their own
performance. The best-selling CFM56 family
successively introduced full authority digital
engine control (FADEC), several generations
of 3-D aero design and, most recently, the suite
of improvements dubbed Tech Insertion in
2007 and the CFM56-7BE and CFM56-5P PIP
(Performance Improvement Package) in 2011.
All of these enhancements were not only
incorporated in new engines, but also available
on engines already in service. Over the years,
CFM has decreased specific fuel consumption
by more than 5% and increased thrust by 16%,
while reducing emissions and significantly
decreasing maintenance costs.
Mascot test
This long-standing philosophy of continuous
improvement, part of CFM’s DNA, is already
an integral part of the LEAP family, and will
be pursued throughout its service life.
CFM has also introduced lighter and stronger
materials. The company’s experience with
composites reaches back some 30 years,
unrivaled among aero-engine manufacturers.
Research is ongoing and the product line
will eventually add an increasing number of
thermo-structural composite parts to reap the
benefits of both the lighter weight and higher
temperature capabilities these materials
provide.
COntInuOuS
tEStInG FOR PROVEn
CFM’s focus on continuous improvement
is reflected in the innovative technologies
introduced in the LEAP engine, drawing on
decades of R&d and operating feedback
from the CFM56 family. All of these
technologies have been matured and
validated in extensive testing.
• 3-D woven RTM fan blades and fan case:
intensive tests of a full-scale fan/case
assembly, including a highly successful
5,000 cycle endurance test and blade-out tests.
These tests have proven the effectiveness of
the LEAP fan, combining high performance,
light weight and strength.
MAtuRIty
• Core: the eCore 1, eCore 2, and eCore 3
demonstrators have logged more than 400
hours of comprehensive testing to validate
aerodynamics, performance, aeromechanical
response and operability. In addition, tests on
the TAPS II (Twin-Annular, Pre-Swirl) combustor,
system dynamics, airfoil aeromechanical
properties, and operability have validated
targeted fuel efficiency and operational
performance.
• the low-pressure turbine has shown
outstanding efficiency during extensive tests.
The engine will begin flight tests in 2014, LEAP Rotor

LEAP,
THE NEW BENCHMARK
IN SINGLE-AISLE POWERPLANTS
Since its formal launch in 2008, the LEAP
engine has been setting a new standard
for the single-aisle commercial jet market.
Its leadership is anchored in innovative,
even revolutionary technologies, including
the wide use of composite materials and
a proven architecture that provides industry
leading propulsive efficiency.
In 2009, Chinese aircraft manufacturer
COMAC chose the LEAP-1C as the sole
Western powerplant for its new C919,
opting for an integrated propulsion
system (IPS) that includes the engine,
nacelle and thrust reverser. At the end
of 2010, Airbus chose the LEAP-1A to power
its new A320neo, followed in August 2011
by Boeing, which selected the LEAP-1B
as the exclusive engine on its new 737 MAX.
Each version of this engine is being optimized
to meet the aircraft manufacturer’s specific
requirements, delivering maximum performance
in terms of reliability, fuel consumption and
maintenance costs. CFM already has a very
healthy backlog of orders for all three
LEAP-powered airplane applications.
The LEAP engine family will maintain CFM’s
long-standing leadership position in the
single-aisle segment, for which there is
a projected demand for more than
40,000 engines over the next 20 years.
