CFM56-5B - Turbofan Series of Engines
Celerity Asset Management specializes in the acquisition of CFM56-5B series mid- to late-life engines with few exceptions.
CFM56-5B Series of Engines : CFM56-5B series of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines made by CFM International (CFMI). An improvement of the CFM56-5A series, the CFM56-5B was originally designed to power the Airbus A321. With a thrust range between 22,000 and 33,000 lbf (98 kN and 147 kN) it can power every model in the A320 family (A318/A319/A320/A321) and has superseded the CFM56-5A series. Among the changes from the CFM56-5A is the option of a double-annular combustor that reduces emissions (particularly NOx), a new fan in a longer fan case, and a new low-pressure compressor with a fourth stage (up from three in earlier variants). CFM56-5B series is the highest volume engine supplied to Airbus.

Narrowbody Market- 737NG/ A320 CEO Market:
The Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 families are considered the workhorses of the global
aviation sector. The Boeing 737 NG and the Airbus A320 CEO family both fly CFM-56 engines.
CFM-56 family is designed, developed, and produced by CFM International. The CFM 56-7B exclusively flies on the Boeing 737 NG (100% Market Share). While CFM-56 5 Series (5A and 5B) have a 60/40 split on the A320 Family of aircraft with the V2500 manufactured by International Aero Engines (IAE). With the CFM-56 family of engines having an overall narrowbody market share of 60% delivery over 25575 engines.
CFM 56 – 5 B Series Market:
Over 9811 CFM 56 – 5 B series engines have been produced as of 2020. The engines were built to support the A318, A319 A320 and A321ceo series of aircraft. An estimated 6378 CFM 56 – 5 B series are in operation.
