TYPE CERTIFICATE (TC) HOLDER General Electric Company GE Aerospace 1 Neumann Way Cincinnati, OH 45215-6310 GE Aerospace GE Passport 20–17BB1A GE Passport 20–18BB1A GE Passport 20–19BB1A GE Passport 20–19BB1B TYPE The GE Passport 20 engine is a high bypass dual-rotor, axial-flow turbofan. The bypass ratio of the engine is 5.6:1 with an overall pressure ratio of 45:1. The high pressure compressor (HPC) pressure ratio is 23:1. The High pressure compressor (HPC) is driven by a two stage High pressure turbine (HPT). The 10-stage high-pressure (HP) compressor includes five blisk stages for weight reduction. The integrated front fan and three stage Low pressure compressor (LPC) is driven by a four stage Low pressure turbine (LPT). A Low Emission combustor (LEC) is used for weight and emissions advantage. Combustor case has integrated OGV diffuser for weight reduction. The accessory drive system extracts energy from the high pressure, high speed rotor to drive the engine accessories and the engine-mounted aircraft accessories. The engine is equipped with a dual channel Next Gen Full- Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) control system which provides enhanced fault isolation and capability for engine functionality and diagnostics.
