Civil aircraft propulsion

The company's major civil aircraft engine is the CFM International CFM56. CFM56 aircraft engines, produced by a partnership between Snecma Moteurs and General Electric that stretches back over 25 years, power more than 4,900 aircraft around the world. Today, one aircraft, which is powered by CFM56 engines, takes off somewhere in the world every four seconds.

Snecma Moteurs is also the main partner for General Electric CF6-80 and General Electric GE90 programs. Snecma Moteurs recently increased its presence in the high-thrust turbofan segment by joining the GP7200 program managed by the Engine Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture of General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. This jet will power the Airbus A380.
