- LEAP-1A durability updates extend time on wing for the A320neo family
- Design validated through proprietary dust testing
- LEAP-1A耐久性更新延長了A320neo系列飛機的使用時間
- 通過專有的灰塵測試驗證設計
CINCINNATI, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency certified the updated high-pressure turbine (HPT) hardware durability kit for the CFM LEAP-1A engines that power Airbus A320neo family aircraft. The durability kit was designed to increase time on wing, especially in hot and harsh environments, and includes the HPT stage 1 blade, HPT stage 1 nozzle, and forward inner nozzle support.
辛辛那提,2024年12月6日 /PRNewswire/ -- 今天,美國聯邦航空局和歐盟航空安全局認證了爲CFM LEAP-1A發動機設計的更新高壓渦輪(HPT)硬件耐久性套件,該發動機爲空中客車A320neo系列飛機提供動力。此耐久性套件旨在增加使用時間,特別是在炎熱和惡劣的環境中,包括HPT第1階段葉片、HPT第1階段噴嘴和前內噴嘴支撐。
"This new hardware is fulfilling our promise to ensure that LEAP-1A engines achieve the same level of maturity, durability, and time on wing that our customers have enjoyed with the CFM56 product line," said Gaël Méheust, president and chief executive officer at CFM International.
「這款新硬件實現了我們的承諾,確保LEAP-1A發動機達到與我們的客戶在CFM56產品系列中享受到的相同成熟度、耐久性和使用時間,」CFm國際公司的總裁兼首席執行官Gaël Méheust說道。
To ensure that the improvements would address durability challenges in harsh environments, CFM worked with a team of geologists to engineer dust that mimicked what engines experience in these environments around the world. Using a proprietary dust ingestion system, the company was able to replicate HPT blade wear that operators were seeing in the field. This innovative system allowed CFM to design, test, and validate improvements to increase the durability and time on wing of these parts.
爲了確保改進能夠解決惡劣環境中的耐久性挑戰,CFm與一支地質學家團隊合作,設計了模擬發動機在全球這些環境中所經歷的灰塵。通過使用專業的灰塵攝入系統,公司能夠複製運營商在現場看到的HPT葉片磨損。這一創新系統使CFm能夠設計、測試和驗證改進,以提高這些部件的耐久性和使用時間。
The CFM LEAP engine family delivers 15 to 20 percent lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as a significant improvement in noise, compared to previous generation engines. With more than 3,500 LEAP-powered aircraft in service, the engine has allowed CFM customers to avoid more than 40 million tons of CO2 emissions.* The engine has been the most successful new product introduction in CFM's 50-year history, with the fastest ramp-up of engine flight hours ever in the industry – surpassing 60 million hours in eight years.
CFm LEAP發動機系列的燃油消耗和二氧化碳排放降低了15%至20%,與上一代發動機相比,噪音顯著改善。超過3500架LEAP動力飛機投入使用,使CFm的客戶避免排放超過4000萬噸二氧化碳。*該發動機是CFM 50年曆史上最成功的新產品推出,創造了行業內飛行小時數最快的增長,八年內超過6000萬小時。
*Compared to the same flights powered by CFM56 engines.
*與CFM56發動機驅動的相同航班相比。
