Safran Sees Growth, Resolution to Silvercrest Issues
The joint-venture engine maker sees its new-gen Leap surpass the CFM-56, as it works to resolves issues with the in-development Silvercrest.

Safran has designed a fix for the high-pressure compressor section of its Silvercrest business jet turbofan, the company confirmed yesterday during a quarterly investor conference call. Problems plaguing the engine's compressor section eventually caused Dassault to cancel the Silvercrest-powered Falcon 5X in late 2017.
