Since its introduction in the 1980s, the CFM56 engine product line has continued to serve as the industry benchmark for single-aisle commercial jet engines in terms of reliability, fuel efficiency, time on wing, and overall cost of ownership.
With a thrust range from 18,500 to 32,000 pounds, the CFM56 family powers the Airbus A320ceo and the Boeing Next-Generation 737 families of aircraft.

480 narrow-body freighters are powered by CFM56 engines, and 60%+ of A321 freighters are powered by CFM56 engines.
CFM-powered cargo operations benefit from the industry-leading reliability and durability that the engines provide, along with high performance retention, resulting in lower fuel-related operating costs, longer time on wing and lower maintenance costs. There are more than 1,000 available CFM56 repair processes with commonality across CFM56-5B and -7B engines, which increases the availability of used serviceable material. In addition, there are more than 40 licensed CFM56 MRO shops globally.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
