which Rolls-Royce is a senior shareholder.
In addition to Rolls-Royce, IAE's partners are Pratt & Whitney of the United
States, the Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines of Germany.
With a range of thrust from 22,000lb -33,000lb, the V2500-A5 is available to
power the Airbus A319, A320 and A321 as well as the A319 Corporate Jet. More
than 1,300 V2500-powered aircraft have been delivered, with the fleet worldwide
having accumulated over 33 million flying hours.
