CFM565B2
The CFM565B2 is a turbofan engine manufactured by CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines. It is a variant of the widely used CFM56 family, specifically designed for narrow-body aircraft. The CFM565B2 is part of the CFM56-5B series, which powers numerous Airbus A320 family aircraft. This particular model is known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and lower emissions compared to earlier engine designs. It features a high-bypass ratio, meaning a large proportion of air bypasses the core of the engine, contributing to its efficiency and reduced noise levels. The CFM565B2 has been a popular choice for airlines operating aircraft like the Airbus A319, A320, and A321. Its robust design and extensive in-service experience have made it a trusted powerplant for commercial aviation. The engine's development focused on optimizing performance for a range of flight conditions, from takeoff to cruise. Maintenance and operational costs have also been a key consideration in its design, making it an economically attractive option for operators.
