General Electric CF6-80
General Electric CF6-80 series engine is a high-bypass turbofan engine with a thrust range of 48,000 to 75,000 lb (214 to 334 kN). It is an advanced development of the earlier successful General Electric CF6-50 series engine. It is divided into 3 distinct families.
CF6-80A Series
The CF6-80A, which has a thrust rating of 48,000 to 50,000 lb (214 to 222 kN), powered two twinjets, the Boeing 767 and Airbus Industrie A310. The GE-powered Boeing aircraft entered airline service in 1982, the GE powered A310 in early 1983. It is rated for ETOPS operations.
CF6-80C2 Series
The CF6-80C2 entered revenue service in October 1985 has a thrust rating of 52,500 to 63,500 lb (234 to 282 kN). It has a reputation of good fuel economy in its thrust class. The CF6-80C2 is certified with 16 thrust ratings. This versatile engine has the most widespread use of any big turbofan engine.
Currently certified on 11 widebody aircraft models including Boeing 747 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11. The CF6-80C2 is also certified for 180 min Extended Twin-engine Operations (ETOPS) for the A300, A310, and Boeing 767 aircraft
CF6-80E Series
The CF6-80E1 is specifically designed for the Airbus A330, with thrust rating of 67,500 to 75,000 lb (300 to 334 kN).
