The CF6-50 series are high-bypass turbofan engines rated between 51,000 and 54,000 lb (227.41 to 240.79 kN, or '25 tons') of thrust. The CF6-50 was developed into the LM5000 industrial turboshaft engines.

Selected to power the DC-10 series 30 aircraft, and later selected to power the new Airbus A300 and Boeing 747, the CF6-50 is a 46,000 - 54,000 pound thrust derivative of the CF6-6. In the late 1970s, an advanced model in the CF6 family was introduced for new short-to-medium range commercial jets.

Today this engine still powers the US Government’s E4-B program, as well as the United States Airforce KC-10s. We proudly support these operators and this legacy engine type. Maintenance and overhead minimized through partnership. Enhanced revenue generation through combined special services.

The CF6, a two-shaft turbofan engine from GE Aerospace, is designed for medium- and long-haul widebody aircraft produced by Airbus and Boeing. MTU has been a key risk- and revenue-sharing partner in the development and production of the CF6 since 1971.

Selected to power the DC-10 series 30 aircraft, and later selected to power the new Airbus A300 and Boeing 747, the CF6-50 is a 46,000-54,000 pound thrust derivative of the CF6-6.

2023年3月29日 · After an incredible 49 years and six months of service, General Electric (GE) officially retired its CF6-6 engine in June 2021. The remaining engine variants, the CF6-80C2, CF6-50, CF6-80A and...

2020年5月8日 · There are really four versions in there, the 50, 80A, 80C2, and 80E. In a nutshell, here's an overview: 50: baseline 80A: compact layout version 80C2: new core and bigger fan 80E: similar architecture to 80C2 with some other tweaks (this helped them be first to market, but cost them later on against the T700)

We support the CF6 family of high-bypass turbofan engines, including the CF6-6 and CF6-50 and the CF6-80A, -80C2, and -80E2, utilized on several commercial and military aircraft. Our team also supports CF34-3 and -8 turbofan regional jet engines and …
