CFM RISE Open Fan Demonstrator
Reimagining the Engine. Reinventing Efficiency.

CFM RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) is GE Aerospace and Safran's open fan propulsion technology program targeting 20%+ fuel efficiency improvement and 100% sustainable aviation fuel compatibility for next-generation narrowbody aircraft. The open fan architecture eliminates the engine nacelle, allowing a larger fan diameter and higher bypass ratio than conventional turbofans — a fundamental rethink of aircraft propulsion entering full-power demonstration testing.

Use Cases
Demonstrating open fan propulsion performance at NASA Glenn Research Center to validate predicted 20% fuel burn reduction against current LEAP engine baseline for next-generation single-aisle aircraftValidating 100% SAF combustion compatibility in the CFM RISE core engine to confirm sustainable aviation fuel usability with the open fan architecture without performance penaltyTesting open fan blade materials, pitch-change mechanisms, and aeroelastic behavior at the GE Aerospace Peebles Test Operation to mature technology readiness for a potential 2030s entry-into-service decision

Competitive Intelligence
VSPratt & Whitney Advanced GTF (GTF Advantage+)
THEM

Pratt & Whitney is developing incremental improvements to its Geared Turbofan architecture including fan pressure ratio optimization and CMC integration to deliver additional fuel efficiency gains on the A320neo family while development of a potential next-generation engine continues.

EDGE

CFM RISE targets a 20%+ fuel efficiency step change over current engines — significantly larger than incremental GTF derivative improvements — through a fundamentally different open fan architecture that no competitor has brought to full-power demonstration

VSRolls-Royce UltraFan
THEM

Rolls-Royce UltraFan is a next-generation turbofan demonstrator featuring a gearbox and composite fan system targeting 25% efficiency improvement over Trent 700, focused primarily on widebody applications rather than the narrowbody market where CFM RISE is targeted.

EDGE

CFM RISE is backed by the combined resources of GE Aerospace and Safran through CFM International's 50-year joint venture, providing twice the engineering investment and multi-national government support compared to single-company programs

VSLEAP-1C (COMAC C919)
THEM

The CFM LEAP-1C is the current-generation powerplant for the COMAC C919, representing the transition generation before open fan technology — it provides a proven reference baseline against which CFM RISE must demonstrate its promised 20% efficiency improvement.

EDGE

CFM RISE represents a clean-sheet propulsion architecture rather than an incremental derivative of existing designs, targeting a larger efficiency step change than any derivative improvement program can achieve within a conventional turbofan cycle
