CFM International recorded a record year in 2011, logging orders for 1,500 commercial, military and spare CFM56 engines and commitments for 3,056 Leap engines for a combined value of $51.7 billion at list prices. Plans call for the Leap engine—chosen as the exclusive powerplant for the Boeing 737 MAX and one of the choices for both the A320neo and Comac C919 to enter service in 2016.
