ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
The Airbus A320 family is powered by two CFM International CFM56-5
turbofan engines.
These engines can produce a thrust from 21600 lb (9800 kg) to 33000 lb
(14970 kg) depending on the aircraft version set by the engine data
programming plug.
The CFM56-5B/3 Tech Insertion propulsion system is a modified version
of the CFM56-5B/P current production propulsion system, by
incorporation of some TECH56 technologies developed by CFM.
PYLON
The engines are attached to the lower surface of the wings by pylons.
The pylons provide an interface between the engine and the aircraft
for electrics, fluids, pneumatics and mechanical forces.
NACELLE
The engine is enclosed in a nacelle, which provides aerodynamic
airflow around the engine and ensures protection for the accessories.
ENGINE CONTROL
The engine includes a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)
system consisting of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) with two
U7Z08431 - U2XT1T0 - UM72D1CFM000001

independent channels, sensors, actuators and other peripheral

components on the engine. The FADEC system provides engine
control, engine monitoring and help for maintenance and trouble
shooting.
