A320 IAE V2500

For easy identification of the present and all future variants of the
V2500, international Aero Engines has introduced a new engine
designation system.
1) All engines will retain V2500 as their generic name.
2) The first three characters of the full designation are V25,
identifying each engine as a V2500.
The next two figures indicate the engine's rated sea-level takeoff
thrust. The following letter shows the aircraft manufacturer. The last
figure represents the mechanical standard of the engine.
This system will provide a clear designation of a particular engine as
well as a simple way of grouping by name, engines with similar
characteristics.
The designation V2500 - D collectively describes, irrespective of
thrust, all engines for McDonnell Douglas applications and V2500 - A
all engines for Airbus Industrie.
Similarly, V2500 - 5 describes all engines built to the -5 mechanical
standard, irrespective of airframe application. For example: The V2500
– A1 engine is used on A320 and has only a 3 stage booster.
