WWN - Airbus A320neo aircraft engine that uses LEAP with parts made with a 3D-printing technology and the latest raw materials, airs for the first time on 19 May.
LEAP engine is the first machine equipped with 19 fuel nozzles are made with 3D-printing technology and spare parts made of ceramic super strong and lightweight, which makes use of 15 percent more fuel efficient than the equivalent engines made by CFM International , a 50:50 joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran (Snecma) belonging to the French, who designed the machine.
"Today, we celebrate a new stage of our partnership together with Airbus, which began 35 years ago, when the Airbus A320 was first launched," said Jean-Paul Ebanga, president and CEO of CFM.
Both engines were used during the four flights-a-half-hour is the LEAP-1A, which is specifically designed for the Airbus jet. Airbus uses LEAP engine for the A320neo in 2010. Since then, CFM has received more than 2,500 orders and commitments for LEAP-1A engines, representing 55 percent of all reservations A320neo aircraft to date.
CFM International has also designed LEAP-1B engine for the Boeing 737 MAX, and LEAP-1C engines for aircraft owned Comac C919.
Until now, CFM has recorded as many as 8,900 LEAP engines bookings with a value of $ 115 billion, LEAP is the best-selling engine in GE Aviation history.
Said CFM LEAP engine will get a certification from the US. The Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency. LEAP engines are scheduled to operate for the first time in 2016.
Currently, there are more than 30 LEAP engine (which includes three models) that are in the final stages of installation or being tested at GE and Snecma testing facility in Peebles, Ohio; Victorville, California; and other locations in Europe and around the world. As a whole, the trial program has recorded more than 3,660 certification test and 5.460 test cycle.
FAA recently certified parts with 3D-printing technology first for GE jet engine, which is a casing for the compressor inlet temperature sensor (compressor inlet temperature sensor) in the GE90 engine.
