  PRoDUCT RANGE
The CFM56 family encompasses six engine models that power 30 different commercial and military applications for more than 500 customers around the world. From the initial CFM56-2 to todays CFM56-5B PIP and CFM56-7BE, our engines are the most sought-after in the industry.

CFM56-7BE
Since the first airplane was delivered to China Southern Airlines in July 2011, the CFM56-7BE-powered Boeing Next-Generation 737 has maintained a highly successful entry into commercial service. The CFM56-7BE-powered Next-Generation 737 enhanced airplane/ engine combination is providing a 2 percent improvement in fuel consumption, which, in turn, equates to a 2 percent reduction in carbon emissions. Additionally, the enhanced -7B will provide up to 4percent lower maintenance costs, depending on the thrust rating and 10C EGT margin, improving time on-wing.

CFM56-5B PIP
Chilean flag carrier LAN Airlines has taken delivery in November 2011 of its first Airbus A319 to be powered by CFM Internationals CFM56-5B PIP (Performance Improvement Program) engine. The PIP is the new production configuration for all CFM56-5B engines. The CFM56-5BPIP powered A320 Family, provides a 0.5% improvement in fuel burn, includes hardware changes to the core with new highpressure turbine blade, as well as manufacturing changes the fan and compressor blades and vanes to improve performance retention. It has fewer parts to help lower maintenance costs and maintains the same noise signature as the previous production model. The CFM56-5B PIP also meets current International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Committee of Aviation Environmental Protection standards (CAEP /6) requirements.

 TRUENGINE
The TRUEngine program was developed in response to a growing industry need to better understand engine material content as assets are evaluated and redistributed. TRUEngine qualification ensures CFMs ability to provide optimized support for the engine, which is a key aspect of CFM56 engine value. Since CFM launched the program in 2008, CFM has continued to enhance the program to bring added customer value. One such enhancement includes the addition of cumulative lease days that qualify customers for complimentary annual spare engine support from the CFM lease pool in the event a TRUEngine qualified engine has an unscheduled removal.
