Answers: I. Delta, United and Flying Tigers (todays UPS). They placed the first order for the CFM56, to re-engine
DC8 Super 70 jetliners. II. It was created in September 1971. It comes from combining the CF designation for
Commercial Fan, from GE, and the M56 from Snecma. The letter M refers to the Roman god of war, Mars, as
Snecma was historically a manufacturer of engines for military aircraft. III. The CFM56-5C4. Length: 103 inches. Fan
diameter: 72.3 inches. Thrust: 34,000 lbs (151 kN). IV. About 60,000, although the senior CFM56 has logged about
70,500 flights. V. 1. In general, 60,000 to 80,000 hours in flight. / 2. It logs an average of 25,000 hours on wing
before its first overhaul. VI. Somewhere in the world, every 2.5 seconds. VII. 3 to 5 liters per 100 passenger-kilometers.
