CFM56 engines after receiving FAA approval
Unison Industries, whose equipment reliably start more than
50,000 aircraft engines daily, announced today a new product to
market that will deliver the longest lasting CFM56-series igniter
plug in the industry.
Unison’s Hi-Performance Igniter for CFM56-series has twice the
life of standard igniters. It recently passed flight tests on
Boeing and Airbus aircraft, succeeding in altitude corner-point
relight. Unison is the only CFM56 OEM-approved igniter plug by CFM,
and it is currently being installed on all new CFM56 engines after
receiving FAA approval in 2018.
It was developed as an optimized part to maximize time-on-wing.
The all-new patented technology improves spark life under harsh
conditions, and succeeded in extreme testing (up to 2,000°F) where
worst-case engine scenarios were simulated. The design leverages
the latest in ignition technology and materials, including
ceramics, to provide two times the plug life. This advantage allows
Unison customers to save on maintenance costs by extending
replacement intervals.
“This is a prime example of how Unison is continuously improving
our technology to benefit our customers,” Unison Industries
President Tom Hoferer said. “As the OEM, we continue to deliver
enhancements to increase performance and reliability, and field
results proved that we doubled the product lifecycle.”
Since 2014, Unison has provided a dedicated igniter plug
optimization program to determine the optimal replacement intervals
for airlines offered at no additional cost to customers. For best
results, use with a complete Unison ignition system, and experience
all of your components working in Unison. Visit Unison at the 2019
Paris Air Show to experience our Hi-Performance Igniter in person
at the American Pavillion (Hall 3) Booth A148.
