Recently,
in March, CFM revised their certification
documentation for the LEAP-1A engine. There now is a G02 version and Addison Schonland
from AirInsight already explained the differences between the original G01
certification standard and the G02.
The higher stated
weight of the G02 is due to the fact that the EBU is now included in the
weight. If we now look at the documentation
of the competing PW1100G-JM engine from P&W we see that the EBU is
included in it’s weight also.
The weight
of the PW1100G-JM is 2857.6 kg or 6300 lbs.
The weight
of the LEAP-1A (G02) is 3153 kg or 6936 lbs.
