CFM International to develop jet engines for C919   

中国C919大客机给CFM国际公司带来可观发动机订单

中国国产C919大客机唯一发动机供应商CFM国际公司(CFM)总载让•保罗埃邦加13日在北京说，CFM已获得中国C919国产大型客机235架发动机的订单，并严格按照中国商飞的要求为C919研发LEAP-1C“中国芯”。

Beijing (CNS) -- CFM International has received an order for 235 jet engines from Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), said CFM President Jean-Paul Ebanga on Wednesday.

Ebanga said they will strictly follow buyer requirements and develop LEAP-1C engines custom-made for China's domestic C919 passenger jets.

The LEAP-1C project was initiated in 2009 and the contract was signed in June 2011, said Ebanga. The C919 is expected to go into operation in 2016.

The global market will need 34,000 single-aisle aircraft in the next two decades, so China's C919, a type of single-aisle craft, will have promising market prospects, Ebanga added.
