An IAE V2500 fitted on a Brazilian Air Force Embraer C-390. A number of de-rated, Stage 4 noise compliant engines have been produced from the -A5 configuration, as well as two variants with significant increase in thrust, thus expanding the thrust range from 23,500 lbf to 33,000 lbf: The 23,500 lbf (105 kN) thrust V2524-A5 for the Airbus A319
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...
During July 1986, IAE confirmed to conduct a preliminary design study for a concept examining a high-bypass engine which used the V2500 core components. This engine, commonly referred to as the SuperFan, had a projected maximum thrust of around 28,000–32,000 lbf while having only 80% of the V2500's specific fuel consumption.
Video of a target-type thrust reverser in operation. Target-type thrust reversal (also called bucket thrust reversal or clamshell thrust reversal [1]) is a deceleration method when an aircraft lands. Like other types of thrust reversals, it temporarily diverts the engine exhaust forward to provide deceleration. This type of thrust-reverser is ...
Pivoting-door thrust reversers are installed on the CFM56-5. Noise-reducing chevrons can also be seen at the engine's rear. The CFM56 is designed to support several thrust reverser systems which help slow and stop the aircraft after landing. The variants built for the Boeing 737, the CFM56-3 and the CFM56-7, use a cascade type of thrust reverser.
The engine's projected maximum thrust was 28,000–32,000 lbf while having only 80% of the V2500's specific fuel consumption. Prior to that study the IAE shareholders Rolls-Royce plc , Pratt & Whitney and MTU Aero Engines had examined several configuration for a high-bypass engine, including several design features like a variable fan blade ...
Powerback is used by aircraft to move backwards on the ground using the power of their engines in reverse thrust operation. [1] Civil and general aviation aircraft equipped with reverse thrust are technically or theoretically able to use powerbacks as a means of "backing up" but such operation is prohibited or strongly discouraged by aircraft manufacturers as well as airport safety regulations ...
More than 3,400 engines have been delivered. [5] In 2014, 2,976 civil engines were installed. [6] In 2017, the AE 3007 in the ERJ family had flown over 53 million hours and over 44 million cycles. [7] It was flown for more than 60 million hours. [8] The engine is manufactured at the Rolls-Royce North America engine plant in Indianapolis ...
