At the Global Aerospace Summit, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury highlighted the promising potential of CFM International’s new open-rotor technology, noting its potential for increased efficiency and reduced emissions. However, he also pointed out the uncertainty surrounding its commercial viability.
Faury also addressed ongoing delays in the delivery of the current generation LEAP engines from CFM International, stating, “They are behind schedule with their deliveries.” CFM has yet to respond to these comments.
In July, Airbus, the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer, issued a profit warning and cut its delivery target by 30 units to a total of 770 aircraft. This reduction was due to supply-chain disruptions affecting components like engines and cabin interiors, with LEAP engines experiencing particularly severe delays.
CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aerospace and France’s Safran, is a leading jet engine manufacturer by sales volume. Its LEAP engines power all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and approximately half of the Airbus A320neo fleet, competing with Pratt & Whitney for airline contracts.
