General Electric CF6
The General Electric CF6 is a family of high-bypass turbofan engines produced by GE Aviation. Based on the TF39, the first high-power high-bypass jet engine, the CF6 powers a wide variety of civilian airliners. The basic engine core also powers the LM2500, LM5000, and LM6000 marine and power generation turboshafts.
GE intends to replace the CF6 family with the GEnx.
Development
After developing the TF39 for the C-5 Galaxy in the late 1960s, GE offered a more powerful variant for civilian use, the CF6, and quickly found interest in two designs being offered for a recent Eastern Airlines contract, the Lockheed L-1011 and McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The L-1011 eventually selected the Rolls-Royce RB211, but the DC-10 stuck with the CF6, and entered service in 1971. It was also selected for versions of the Boeing 747. Since then, the CF6 has powered versions of the Airbus A300, 310 and 330, Boeing 767, and McDonnell Douglas MD-11. The high bypass of the CF6 represented a historic breakthrough in fuel efficiency.

'cause this passenger's not a happy man,
Start running just as fast as you can
You say, you need a friend,
Hey, well so do I,
But this passenger's just passing by,
Passenger is just passing
Bye.
At your age and stage you should understand,
But you don't care you got a master plan,
Fuck, fuck, fuck 'em all and take what you can
A freezing cold stare and a flick in the eye,
Passengers just passing by [x3].
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice [x4].
You're holding everything inside,
You're holding everything inside [x2].
Don't it feel good just to be alive,
Still holding everything inside?
You don't know what you want,
So you take what you can,
Still don't make you a happy man,
Start running just as fast as you can.
A freezing cold stare and a flick in the eye,
Passengers just passing by [x3].
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice [x2],
For all things gained there's a sacrifice,
To walk on water you gotta sink in the ice.
You're holding everything inside,
You're holding everything inside [x2],
And don't it feel good just to be alive?
Don't it feel good just to be alive?
You're still holding everything inside.
And you don't know what you want, do ya?
Know what you want, do ya?
Know what you want?
What you want?
You're holding everything inside,
You're holding everything inside,
Youre still holding,
You're holding everything inside,
You're holding everything inside,
Youre still holding.
Don't it feel good just to be alive?
Don't it feel good just to be alive?
Don't it feel good?
Youre still holding everything inside,
