Features:
Designed and licensed by Levihathan, this product draws inspiration from CFM’s open-rotor engine. It features intricate details and exquisite design, continuing the design philosophy of the LEAP’s internal structure, which served as the anticipated successor to the CFM LEAP turbofan engine.The product faithfully reproduces a single-stage open-rotor with a pull configuration. The main support structure conceals a motor and an operational variable pitch mechanism. The design is excellent, robust, and aesthetically pleasing, while also considering the fun of assembly. It has high visual appeal and collectible value.
.Made from eco-friendly ABS material, the product includes a total of 1,283 parts, each of exceptionally high quality. The parts are precisely cast and molded, ensuring a high degree of compatibility, tight fit, and stable assembly. The parts are free of burrs and jagged edges, providing a smooth and seamless overall experience.
.Equipped with a QR code instruction manual, accessible via your smartphone camera, the assembly steps are clear and easy to follow. The detailed instructions ensure a smooth and hassle-free building process, allowing enthusiasts to fully enjoy the construction experience.
.Beyond being a stunning display piece, these building blocks enhance hands-on skills and critical thinking. Whether used as a decorative centerpiece or a learning tool, this set offers value that goes far beyond mere playtime. Perfect gift for building block beginners, building block collectors, aircraft model enthusiasts, and building block engine enthusiasts.

.Product background:
CFM International’s RISE (“Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines”) is an open-rotor engine currently under development by CFM International, a 50/50 joint venture between the American company GE Aerospace and the French company Safran Aircraft Engines. This engine is designed to support both hydrogen fuel and sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20% compared to its predecessor.
The 1973 oil crisis led to increased oil prices in the 1970s, prompting engine manufacturers to explore new technologies to reduce fuel consumption, including open-rotor (also known as propfan) engines. However, these designs were not adopted for production aircraft, primarily due to falling oil prices and concerns over the high noise levels of these engines. In the years preceding the RISE project announcement, both Safran and GE Aerospace had experimented with open-rotor engine designs. As part of the EU Clean Sky project, Safran conducted ground tests of an open-rotor engine in 2019, while GE collaborated with the US Federal Aviation Administration in the early 2010s to perform wind tunnel tests on a derivative of the GE36 engine.
Program Announcement:
In June 2021, CFM International announced the RISE program as the anticipated successor to the CFM LEAP turbofan engine, with plans for it to enter service in the mid-2030s. At the 2022 Farnborough Airshow in July of the same year, CFM International and Airbus announced plans to begin flight testing the RISE engine on an Airbus A380-based testbed starting in 2026.
In June 2023, GE tested the first rotating parts of the new engine, pairing a high-speed low-pressure turbine first stage with a GE F110 military test engine. By the end of 2023, GE was producing test components with the goal of manufacturing a demonstration engine for flight testing. The demonstrator will pair an open-fan set with a GE Passport gas generator.
