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.

CF6-50. 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.

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.

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.

Cockpit cruise recordings and test cell data in conjunction with hardware inspection results from airline overhaul shops were analyzed to define the extent and magnitude of performance deterioration of the General Electric CF6-50 high bypass turbofan engine.

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.

Jul 30, 2021 · Building on the technology of the TF39 military engine, GE’s CF6-6 high bypass turbofan aircraft engine entered service on the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10. Since then, the CF6 family has grown to include the CF6-50, CF6-80A, CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 engine models.

Jul 1, 2021 · While all CF6-6 engines are now retired, the remaining CF6 engine models—CF6-80C2, CF6-50, CF6-80A and CF6-80E1—continue to operate. The CF6 engine program, with 10 aircraft family applications, is one of the longest running jet …

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.

The CF6 series of engines, developed by General Electric, includes the CF6-6 engine which powers the Douglas DC-lo-10 aircraft and the CF6-50 engine (Figure 1) that powers the Boeing 747-200, Douglas DC-10-30, and Airbus Industrie A300 aircraft. These high bypass turbofan engines, at the time of
