Commercial aircraft engines especially used in the Airbus A318, A319, A320 & A321 with a take of thrust ranging from 22000 to 33000 pounds. Commercial aircraft engine consists of 16000 components & having 30 three dimensional aerodynamic design of the blades and vanes throughout the turbomachinary.

It is having “DOUBLE ANNULAR COMBUSTOR” reducing as much as 40% of emmision of Nitrogen Oxides. (Nox) It is having Max climb thrust at 35000 ft – = 0.8 -
Engines length is 102.30 Mt. Fan diameter is 68.30 mt. The commercial aircraft engine is manufactured by GE (US), Snecma, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce.

There are around 7000 Flights powered by these engines which runs into 80 million flight hours. All these commercial flight engines are timely tested for 50000 hours before allowing to commercial flight. There is no engine failure while flying.

All the 16000 components are made to a high standard quality.Standard metallurgy (different composition of metals) and different processes of combining them are also needed. If a single component gives trouble, all the 16,000 components are interlinked & it gives a failure of engine. Everything is properly assemebled, fitted & tested properly. It is a marvellous & wonderful in the modern technological world.
