Despite today's air routes being packed with a succession of bland jetliners, the classics of yesteryear are still earning their keep with charter and cargo operations across the globe. Boeing 707s and 727s, Douglas DC-8s and DC-9s, Caravelles and Tupolev Tu134s have all found homes with smaller carriers based in Africa, the Americas and Eastern Europe. Even some of the big operators in the US like American Airlines, United and Delta still retain an ever-dwindling fleet of 'classics'.

CFM: The Power of Flight tells the engrossing story of how General Electric and Snecma (now Safran Aircraft Engines) came together in the early 1970s to form CFM International, the most successful jet engine company in the history of commercial aviation. Propelled by the shared vision of its founding fathers, Gerhard Neumann and Rene Ravaud, CFM was established as a pioneering 50/50 joint venture to develop the world's first small high-bypass engine. Known as CFM56, this revolutionary 10-tonne engine concept brought unprecedented levels of fuel efficiency and reduced noise at a time when airlines and aircraft manufacturers were waking up to a new world of rising fuel prices and environmental pressures. But getting CFM off the ground was far from easy. As this book attests, it survived, at times, only by the sheer force of will of its founders and the efforts of hundreds of GE and Snecma people who believed in the program. Although the two engine makers overcame enormous political hurdles to secure the birth of the joint venture in 1974, it was not until March 1979 that the first firm order came - just two weeks before the program was due to be shelved. From then on, there was no looking back. Several generations of the CFM56 engine have since been produced, with more than 30,000 delivered by 2016. A new twenty-first century successor, the LEAP engine, was launched in 2008 and is now poised to forge its own place in aviation history. This book recounts how CFM's success has been built not only on producing the right engine at the right time, but also on the remarkable business foundation of the joint venture, the architecture of which provides a robust example of industrial and transatlantic collaboration that continues to set the gold standard for international cooperative ventures to this day.

Poussée par la vision commune de ses pères fondateurs, Gerhard Neumann et René Ravaud, CFM a été établie sous la forme de société commune, contrôlée à parts égales par les deux entreprises, afin de mettre au point le premier moteur à taux de dilution élevé dans la classe des 10 tonnes de poussée. Baptisé CFM56, ce moteur révolutionnaire a établi de nouveaux standards en termes de fiabilité, de consommation de carburant et d émissions sonores à une époque, celle consécutive au premier choc pétrolier, où les compagnies aériennes et les avionneurs devaient faire face à la hausse des prix du pétrole et à de nouvelles exigences environnementales. L envol de CFM a été difficile. Comme l atteste ce livre, à ses débuts, la société a survécu, parfois par la seule volonté de ses fondateurs et grâce aux efforts des équipes de GE et de Snecma qui ont toujours cru en ce programme.
