AIR SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

The air system of the CFM56-5A/-5B engines serves
various functions. The primary one is thrust delivery.
Other functions include:
- To provide a Bleed air supply to the aircraft.
- Variable geometry used to enhance engine
operation (VSV, VBV, and TBV).
- Clearance control (HPTCC and LPTCC).
- To provide cooling for Engine parts.
- To provide Damping of bearing forces.
- Re-introduction of air and hot gas.
- Sump pressurization and venting (see Oil system).
When all the air system functions are performed correctly,
the engine is more efficient. Power or thrust is obtained
with a lower fuel flow, so the EGT will be lower and result
in an increased life of the engine under the wing.
Specific fuel consumption and economic factors
(operating costs) are also enhanced.
(-5A):
NOTE:
Transient bleed valves (TBV) are not installed on CFM565A engines.

ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT

The CFM56-5A/-5B engine is a high by-pass, dual rotor,
axial flow, advanced technology turbofan. It is supported
by the wing pylon and streamlined by cowlings.
Air is sucked into the intake by the fan blades and split
into two flow paths, the Primary and the Secondary.
The primary airflow passes through the inner portion of
the fan blades and is directed into a booster (LPC).
The flow path then enters a High Pressure Compressor
(HPC) and goes to a combustor. Mixed with fuel and
ignited, the gas flow provides energy to a High Pressure
Turbine (HPT) and a Low Pressure Turbine (LPT).
(-5B):
At static take-off power, the CFM56-5B engine by-pass
ratio is between 5.4:1 and 6:1, depending on the engine
model, which means that the secondary airflow takes
in between 5.4 and 6 times more air than the primary
airflow.
(-5A):
At static take-off power, the CFM56-5A engine by-pass
ratio is between 6:1 and 6.2:1, depending on the engine
model.
By-pass ratio = (secondary airflow) / (primary airflow).
The secondary airflow passes through the outer portion

of the fan blades, the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGVs) and
exits through the nacelle discharge duct, producing
approximately 80 % of the total thrust. It also plays a role
in the thrust reverser system.

The CFM56-5A/-5B engine uses a maintenance concept
called On Condition Maintenance. This means that
the engine has no periodic overhaul schedules and can
remain installed under the wing until something important
occurs, or when lifetime limits of parts are reached.
For this reason, to monitor and maintain the health of the
engine, different tools are available, which are:
- Engine vibration monitoring system: sensors

located in various positions in the engine, send
vibration values to the on-board monitoring
system. When vibration values are excessive,
the data recorded can be used to take remedial
balancing action.
- Engine performance trend monitoring, to evaluate

engine deterioration over a period of use: engine
parameters, such as gas temperature, are
recorded and compared to those initially observed
at engine installation on the aircraft.
- Borescope inspection, to check the condition
of engine internal parts: when parts are not
accessible, they can be visually inspected with
borescope probes inserted in ports located on the
engine outer casing.
- Lubrication particles analysis: while circulating in
the oil system, lubrication oil is filtered, and large,
visible-to-the-eye particles (larger than 10 microns)
coming from worn engine parts are collected in
filters and magnetic chip detectors, for visual
inspection and analysis.

LIFE-LIMITED PARTS
Airworthiness limitations (ATA Chapter 05) determine
the life limits for rotating and static engine parts and the
approved mandatory inspection intervals for specific
engine parts.
The life of parts is given in flight cycles. The cycles for
each part serial number must be counted continuously
from its first entry into service.
A cycle is defined as:
- A flight which has a take-off and landing.
or
- A touch-and-go landing and take-off used to train
pilots.
It is the operators responsibility to maintain accurate
records of the total number of cycles operated and the
number of cycles remaining.

The CFM56-5A/-5B engine consists of two independent
rotating systems:
- The low pressure system rotational speed is
designated N1.
- The high pressure system rotational speed is
designated N2.
The engine rotors are supported by 5 bearings, identified
in manuals as numbers 1 thru 5, where No 1 is the most
forward and No 5 the most aft. These bearings are
housed in 2 dry sump cavities provided by the fan and
turbine frames.
Engine structural rigidity is obtained with short lengths
between two main structures (frames).
The accessory drive system uses energy from the high
pressure compressor rotor to drive the engine and aircraft
accessories. It also plays a major role in starting.

Fan blades
(-5A):
The fan blades form the first stage of the Low Pressure
Compressor and accelerate the air entering the engine
through the air inlet cowls.
The blades are individually retained by a spacer that

limits radial movement, a blade retainer that limits
forward axial movement and by the booster spool front
flange that limits axial movement rearward.
There are 36 titanium alloy, mid-span shrouded fan

blades.
Each blade has a dovetail base that slides into a recess
on the fan disk outer rim.
The fan blades are approximately 23 inches (0.58m)
long.
(-5B):
In order to limit vibration, dampers are installed in the

cavity between adjacent blades, below the inner platform.
The damper is axially retained by a titanium damper
retainer, which is bolted on the rear flange of the fan disk.
NOTE:
For the reworked fan disk assembly, a shim is introduced
between each fan blade and the fan disk assembly to
keep the same radial position to the fan blade.
A retainer lug, machined at the rear end of the blade root,

engages the forward flange of the booster spool and
limits axial movements.
A spacer, installed underneath each blade, limits the
radial movement.

The core engine is a high pressure, high speed, gas
generator that produces the power to drive the engine.
Fan discharge air is compressed in the High Pressure
Compressor (HPC), heated and expanded in the
combustion chamber. It is then directed by the High
Pressure Turbine (HPT) nozzles onto the HPT rotor.
Energy not extracted from the gas stream by the HPT
rotor is used to drive the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT), fan
rotors and booster.
In running conditions, the core engine also provides a
torque to drive the accessories installed on the AGB.
During engine start an Air Starter drives the core engine
through the accessory drive system.
The core engine consists of the following:

The HPC.
- HPC rotor.
- HPC front stator.
- HPC rear stator.
The combustion section.
- Combustor casing.
- Combustion chamber.
The HPT.
- HPT nozzle.
- HPT rotor.
- HPT shroud & Stage 1 LPT nozzle.
The forward end of the core is supported by the No 3 ball

and roller bearings, located in the Fan Major Module.
The aft end is supported by the No 4 roller bearing,
located in the LPT Major Module.

ACCESSORY DRIVE SYSTEM

At engine start, the accessory drive system transmits
external power from the engine air starter to drive the
core engine.
When the engine is running, the accessory drive system
extracts part of the core engine power and transmits it
through a series of gearboxes and shafts in order to drive
the engine and aircraft accessories.
For maintenance tasks, the core can be cranked
manually through the Accessory Gearbox.
The accessory drive system is located at the 6 oclock
position and consists of the following components:
- Inlet Gearbox (IGB), which takes power from the
HPC front shaft.
- Radial Drive Shaft (RDS), which transmits the power
to the Transfer Gearbox.
- Transfer Gearbox (TGB), which redirects the torque.
- Horizontal Drive Shaft (HDS), which transmits power
from the Transfer Gearbox to the Accessory
Gearbox.
- Accessory Gearbox (AGB), which supports and
drives both engine and aircraft accessories.

General.
Locking devices are designed to keep fasteners and other
parts safely engaged.
They prevent any opposite forces that could cause
fasteners to disengage.
They are not designed to apply or keep a torque.
Safety cable.
CFM56 engines use common locking devices, such as
cotter pins, tabwashers and lockwire, but they also use a
specic device: the safety cable.
The safety cable consists of a cable which is cut to the
appropriate length, and a ferrule crimped on the cable
during installation.
