The engine's name is a combination of the Roman numeral V, symbolizing the five original members of the International Aero Engines consortium, which was formed in 1983 to produce the V2500 engine. The 2500 represents the 25,000- pound-force (110 kN) produced by the original engine model, the V2500-A1.
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] The consortium is reportedly open to further military applications for the V2500, in addition to the commercial market. [2] The engine's direct competitor is the CFM International CFM56.
In 2024, AAR expanded and extended its support of Sumitomo Precision Products on the V2500 engine component distribution. [14] In the same year, AAR has also started offering Parts Manufacturer Approvals (PMA). [15] In September 2024, AAR reported a 20% increase in fiscal Q1 sales.
Pratt & Whitney's Global Material Solutions (GMS) makes parts for the CFM56 engine thus giving customers an alternative in new CFM56 engine materials. In addition to engine parts, GMS provides customers with fleet management and customized maintenance service programs. United Airlines was the GMS launch customer. [19]
The engine is used on the A220, A320neo family, Embraer E-Jet E2 and the Russian Yakovlev MC-21 (although exports were stopped as part of the international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine). The Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engine family initially garnered significant interest from airlines due to its touted fuel efficiency advantages.
Availability of the engine was estimated between 1992 and 1994. [1] In December 1986 the V2500 SuperFan was officially offered to Airbus as powerplant for the Airbus A340 being developed at that time. With that offer, more design details were revealed. In addition to the V2500 core engine, IAE claimed to be able to derive all further components ...
