The IAE V2500 is a two-shaft high-bypass turbofan engine built by International Aero Engines (IAE) which powers the Airbus A320 family, the McDonnell Douglas MD-90, and the Embraer C-390 Millennium. [ 2 ]
IAE's current purpose is the development, production and aftermarket services of the V2500 aero engine family, which powers the Airbus A320 family and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 aircraft. IAE also supplies the V2500-E5 to power the Embraer KC-390 military transport aircraft; this arrangement is the first military application of the engine. [18]
Rolls-Royce is the second largest manufacturer of turbofans and is most noted for their RB211 and Trent series, as well as their joint venture engines for the Airbus A320 and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 families (IAE V2500 with Pratt & Whitney and others), the Panavia Tornado (Turbo-Union RB199) and the Boeing 717 .
The IAE V2500SF SuperFan was a design study for a high-bypass geared turbofan derived from the IAE V2500. It was offered as the primary engine option for the Airbus A340-200 and 300 in January 1987. Although several customers signed preliminary contracts for this variant, the International Aero Engines board decided in April 1987 to stop the ...
The IAE V2500 turbofan was selected to power the C-390.. On 14 April 2009, Embraer was awarded with a $1.5 billion contract to develop and build two prototypes. [15] [16] At the programme launch, the design was all-new in terms of its fuselage, wing, flight deck, and engine selection.
FiatAvio later withdrew from the V2500 consortium. [2] Workshare on the joint venture's first engine, the V2500 , was divided between the constituent aero-engine companies. Rolls-Royce based the high pressure compressor on a scale-up of the RC34B eight stage research unit used in the RB401-06 Demonstrator Engine, but with a zero-stage added at ...
IAE V2500 turbofan (1987) with overall pressure ratio of about 35:1 which is generated by 1 fan, 4 low pressure and 10 high pressure compressor stages. By 2016 overall pressure ratio had reached 60:1 in the General Electric GE9X .
The aircraft operating as Flight 3054 was a twin turbofan Airbus A320-233, serial number 789, registration PR-MBK; it was powered by two IAE V2500 engines. It was built in 1998 and had been operated by other airlines before entering service with TAM in January 2007, six months before the accident.
