A new-generation engine for China’s C919 jetliner

"At the end of 2009 Chinese aircraft manufacturer Comac selected an engine from Safran to power its new single-aisle commercial jet, the C919. We take a closer look at this major partnership. Safran will supply the complete propulsion system for China's first commercial jetliner, in a contract that could be worth up to $15 billion over a period of 30 years. The contract also includes engine support services, which account for more than half of the total amount." Next
