The industrial and marine development of the CF6-80C2, the LM6000 Series, has found wide use including fast ferry and high speed cargo ship applications, as well as in power generation. The LM6000 gas turbine family provides power in the 40 to 56 MW range for utility, industrial, and oil & gas applications.

Currently certified on 14 widebody aircraft models and with 16 ratings, the CF6-80C2 has received FAA 180-minute Extended Range Operations (ETOPS) approval for A300, A310, 747, and 767 aircraft, offering route structuring flexibility and added economic benefits.

GE Aerospace’s CF6 engine family remains the longest-running jet engine program in commercial aviation, having entered service in 1971 as GE Aerospace’s first successful power plant for the commercial widebody aircraft segment. The CF6-80C2 continues in production today.

The CF6-80C2 is used across a range of operations, with average engine flight cycle (EFC) times varying from one hour to nine or 10 hours. A few operators, such as Air New Zealand and Qantas, use the CF6-80C2 on their 747-400s and operate the aircraft on ultra-long-haul sectors of 10-13 hours. The engine powers more than 1,200

The CF6-80C2 is certified on several widebody aircraft models, and Delta TechOps has serviced these engines since 1982.

In 1969, the TF39 engine was designed to power the USAF C-5 Galaxy Transport aircraft. It was the first high bypass turbofan, and led to the development of the CF6 engine family. That legacy has now come full circle as the C-5 is re-engined with the CF6-80C2L1F.

See Sections 6 of CF6-80C2 Specific Operating Instructions, GEK 92462. 11. The indicated 960°C EGT Redline for the CF6-80C2 engines using EGT Shunt Junction Box P/N 1325M15P05 or 1325M15P07 corresponds to an actual 1005°C EGT.

Mar 29, 2023 · Aviation Week’s data shows that a total of 1,579 engines will retire from the CF6 engine family over the next 10 years, among which the CF6-80C2 engine variant will see the most retirements,...

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.
