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.

As an independent MRO providing complete maintenance, repair, overhaul, and testing services to owners and operators of early-stage commercial aircraft engines, CTS Engines specializes in the CF6-80C2, CF6-80A, CF6-50, and PW2000.

Jul 30, 2021 · On August 5, 2021, GE Aviation celebrates the 50 th anniversary of revenue service of the CF6 widebody jet engine family, which, to date, has accumulated more than 460 million engine flight hours.

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.

May 8, 2020 · There are really four versions in there, the 50, 80A, 80C2, and 80E. In a nutshell, here's an overview: The CF6-80C2 was really the successful engine here, it was big on 767-300ER, MD-11, A300-600R, and 747-400. AA flew three different airplanes on the 1990's with the CF6-80C2, they flew 767 until recently.

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 …

presents a proposed new turbine for the CF6-6 engine that is predicted to provide a sfc reduction of up to 1.3X, improved performance retention and reliability, and a significant reduction in maintenance cost.
