Advanced LEAP-1A engines successfully completed a four-hour, 25-minute first flight on May 19th, powering the new Airbus A320neo. The flight test occurred right on schedule, reinforcing the success of the LEAP development program and the confidence shown in the performance and durability of the new product. The engines performed extremely well throughout the flight envelope. This first flight is another major step in the joint airplane/engine development program that will culminate in the entry into commercial service in 2016. CFM is on track for joint U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency certification to support the aircraft entry into service. Nearly 60% of the required engine certification reports have been submitted and approved to date.
