✈ A320 Engine Sound Battle | CFM56 Vs. IAE V2500

Hello and welcome to SOUTHEND AVIATION!

Two aviation narrow-bodies power plants go head to head in this turbofan engine sound battle! The GE CFM56-5B up against the rival IAE V2500!

Be sure to post in the comments section below which engine you preferred in this video!

Just some info on both engines;

General Electric/Safran (to create CFM International) produce the CFM 56, the most successful turbofan engine ever produced. The name CFM56 comes from General Electric (who’s flagship engine was the CF6 at the time) and Safran who at the time were developing the M50. By joining the names of the CF6 and the M50 together the name CFM56 was born. The CFM 56 engine can be found on many different aircraft, from the A320 family, the 737 Classics and NGs and even re engines DC8s! In this video we show the CFM56-5B found on the A320 family. The thrust ranges from 21,600lbf to 33,000lbf, this is dependent on the aircraft variant/airline’s desire. The engine’s dry weight is 5,250lbs, with a bypass ratio of 5.5:1. CFM International have delivered more than 10,000 -5B models to date.

The IAE V2500 is a joint project from Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney. The aircraft actually was built by 5 engine manufacturers however the other 3 had either sold off there shares in the engine or folded. IAE stands for International Aero Engines and the V is the roman numeral for 5 (symbolising the 5 original companies who helped build the engine) The 2500 represents 25,000lbf, the intended thrust output the engine. The V2500 thrust output ranges from 23,500lbf to 33,000lbf with a bypass ratio of 4.8:1. The IAE weighs 5,300lbs on the 320 family but over 5,700lbs on the MD90. It’s not exactly clear how many engines have been built but it’s somewhere in the region of 8000.
