About CFM

CFM

CFM combines the resources, engineering expertise and services of two major aircraft engine manufacturers: Snecma of France, and GE - Aviation in the U.S.A.

Underlying CFM's rapid and hard-earned success is the excellence of its product and the competence of its organization: designers, engineers, technical representatives, product support managers and sales personnel throughout the world. CFM's goal is to maintain the trust of airlines and airframers by providing superior engines, as well as the outstanding and dedicated services that contribute to the operational and the financial success of our customers.

CFM is not an acronym. The company (CFM), and product line (CFM56), got their names by a combination of the two parent companies' commercial engine designations: GE's CF6 and Snecma's M56.
