CFM International announces upgrades and advancements for LEAP engines.

TL;DR
CFM International is redesigning some parts of its LEAP engine to improve durability in harsh climates, to be available for retrofit on Airbus and Boeing jets next year. The move is in response to the analysis of high-pressure turbine blades and turbine nozzles when operating in harsh and hot environments. CFM provides power for the Boeing 737 MAX and competes with Pratt & Whitney to power the Airbus A320neo family.
