International Aero Engines V2500-A5

International Aero Engines V2500-A5 is the active high-bypass, two-spool turbofan series for Airbus A320-family aircraft. EASA identifies the approved V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2527-A5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 model boundaries; IAE publishes a 22,000–33,000-lbf V2500 family range and model-specific bypass ratios, so this family-level row preserves the A320 application without assigning one bypass value or exact V252x suffix to every installation.
