Ramping Up CFM is gearing up for year-on-year record engine production increases to keep pace with planned order increases by Airbus and Boeing, and expects to be supplying up to 1,600 CFM56-5/7s per year by 2014. The rate increases, which in three years will equate to more than four engines per day from the combined U.S and French assembly lines, will see engine deliveries grow to 1,400 in 2012,1,500 in 2013 and upward of 1,600 in 2014, from 1,260 this year.
