Why Advancing Open Fan Architectures Is Critical To Lowering Emissions

CFM International (CFM), a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, is a leading manufacturer of modern jet engines. Irrespective of the fuel efficiency of modern engines, air travel is responsible for a majority of transportation-related carbon emissions. In a continuous effort to increase fuel efficiency, CFM is developing an open fan engine architecture for its newest venture, the CFM RISE program.
