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.

The CF6-50 was designed by General Electric to power the DC10-30 series aircraft. It was 1969 and the dawn of the widebody era. The airline industry was expanding quickly.

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.

Jun 11, 2018 · This June marks the 50 th anniversary of GE Aviation’s dramatic return to the airline industry by launching the original CF6 engine on the Douglas DC-10. This seminal milestone put GE on a course to become one of the world’s commercial jet engine dynasties.

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.

Mar 29, 2023 · 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,...

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, 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.
