Which Engine Is More Powerful: CFM LEAP Or Pratt & Whitney GTF?

The CFM LEAP and Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) are two of the most important engine families powering modern single-aisle commercial aircraft, offering airlines improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and quieter operations compared with earlier-generation engines. Both compete directly on the Airbus A320neo family, where airlines can select either the CFM LEAP-1A or the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM, making their relative performance an important consideration for aircraft manufacturers and operators.
