CFE738

IOC: 1995
Total Production: 400

Origin:United States of America

Contractor/s: General Electric Aviation, Honeywell

Description: The CFE738 is the result of General Electric (GE) and Honeywell, originally Garrett Engine Division of Allied Signal, partnership on commercial aviation engines development. This advanced efficient high-bypass turbofan engine builds upon GE27/GE38 gas generator developed in the 1980s. GE is responsible for the core of the engine and control system while Honeywell manages the front fan, low-pressure turbine and accessory gearbox. Each engine develops near 6,000-lb of thrust at sea level and is controlled by two Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC).

To date, CFE Company, a Honeywell and General Electric joint venture, has delivered approximately 400 CFE738 engines for the Dassault Falcon 2000 business jet program.
