By the end of November, Airbus planned to explain the root cause and give an in-depth analysis by the end of 2018. [75] Pratt & Whitney stated the A220's and Embraer E2's PW1500G/PW1900Gs are free from the issue and that less than 2% of PW1100Gs are affected while 182 GTF-powered A320/A321neos have been delivered.

The 131-9D initially was designed for the McDonnell Douglas MD-90 series; the 131-9B became standard equipment on Boeing 737NG; the 131-9A on the Airbus A320 family. [4] The 131-9C has entered service aboard the Airbus A220 (formerly Bombardier C-Series). The 131 Series uses a two-stage axial turbine and a single generator which starts the APU. [5]
In 1989, its unit cost was US$4.7 million. [8] The 4,000th V2500 was delivered in August 2009 to the Brazilian flag carrier TAM and installed on the 4,000th Airbus A320 family aircraft, an A319. [9] In early 2012, the 5,000th V2500 engine was delivered to SilkAir, and IAE achieved 100 million flying hours. [7]
Airbus claimed the 737-300 burns 35% more fuel and has a 16% higher operating cost per seat than the V2500-powered A320. [65] A 150-seat A320 burns 11,608 kg (25,591 lb) of jet fuel over 2,151 nmi (3,984 km; 2,475 mi) (between Los Angeles and New York City), or 2.43 L/100 km (97 mpg ‑US ) per seat with a 0.8 kg/L fuel.

In total, 28 test engines will be used by CFM to achieve engine certification, and 32 others will be used by Airbus, Boeing and COMAC for aircraft certification and test programs. [1] [17] The first engine entering the test program reached and sustained 33,000 lbf (150 kN) of thrust, required to satisfy the highest rating for the Airbus A321neo ...

Ram air turbine on Airbus A320. The Airbus A380 has the largest RAT in the world at 1.63 metres (64 in) in diameter, but around 80 centimetres (31 in) is more common. A typical large RAT on a commercial aircraft can be capable of producing 5 to 70 kW, depending on the generator. Smaller, low airspeed models may generate as little as 400 watts.
On aircraft such as the Airbus A310, Airbus A320 family, Airbus A320neo, Airbus A330, [5] Airbus A330neo, Airbus A340, [6] Boeing 737 Next Generation, 747, 757, 767 and 777, an integrated drive generator (IDG) is used. [7] This unit is simply a CSD and an oil cooled generator inside the same case. [8]
