All new-production CFM International Leap-1A and Leap-1B engines delivered to Airbus and Boeing as of last month incorporate a permanent fix to mitigate degradation of an environmental barrier coating in the ceramic matrix composite (CMC) shroud that surrounds the first high-pressure turbine stage, according to Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of the CFM joint venture.
