The General Electric CF6, US military designations F103 and F138, 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.

GE Aerospace’s CF6 engine family remains the longest-running jet engine program in commercial aviation, having entered service in 1971 as GE Aerospace’s first successful power plant for the commercial widebody aircraft segment. The CF6-80C2 continues in production today.

In 1969, the TF39 engine was designed to power the USAF C-5 Galaxy Transport aircraft. It was the first high bypass turbofan, and led to the development of the CF6 engine family. That legacy has now come full circle as the C-5 is re-engined with the CF6-80C2L1F.
