December 21, 2009, Cincinnati, Ohio - Nexcelle (Nexcelle) will become the world's first truly integrated propulsion system of the core partners for the China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. (China Commercial Aircraft) C919 jet The LEAP-X1C models provide high-energy engine nacelle,glue stick thrust reverser and exhaust system.
LEAP-X1C engine is the SAFRAN Group and General Electric (GE) joint venture CFM International, the company developed.
Nexcelle innovative design,glue gun including advanced configuration of the inlet, composite materials and dealing with the widespread use of silencers and electric thrust reverser.
"China Commercial Aircraft selection LEAP-X1C as the C919's engine is a historic step, allowing full enjoyment of a new generation of new aircraft C919, low risk, all the advantages of integrated propulsion systems." Nexcelle president of Waters (SteveWalters) said: "These include the air force by improving performance, less weight caused by fuel consumption, higher reliability and better maintainability of the flight, all of which can reduce the direct operating costs."
LEAP-X1C integrated propulsion system is Nexcelle and CFM International, jointly developed product. Nexcelle MRAS companies and Aircelle is a joint venture, each having a 50% stake, which the parent companies GE and SAFRAN group also owns 50% of CFM International, Inc. shares.
