Taxiing out for departure at RGIA as 6E2248 bound for DEL. This aircraft was newly delivered to IndiGo on 19 Apr 2021. Originally built as a 251NX, the aircraft was modified to a 252NX with LEAP-1A30 engines. Successor to the CFM56-5 series, these offer 15% improvement in fuel efficiency. The engines feature 18 Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) blades set using a 3-D Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) process. The blades untwist at higher rpm, improving aerodynamics. Lighter blades allow for weight saving in containment areas. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
