Information About

Japanese Aero Engines Corporation




Although two prototype engines were built and ground tested, the RJ500 project was cancelled when Boeing rejected the engine, in favour of the CFM56 -3, for the 737-300 .

Around 1982, attention focused on developing a more advanced engine in the 25000 Lbf thrust class for the 150 seater market. Pratt & Whitney , MTU and FiatAvio joined the consortium, by then named International Aero Engines , shortly afterwards. The V in V2500 denotes the five original partners, whilst 2500 symbolizes the original thrust level of 25000lbf. FiatAvio later withdrew from the V2500 consortium.
