The General Electric TF39 was a high-bypass turbofan engine developed to power the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, and it was the first high-bypass jet engine to enter service, becoming operational on the Galaxy fleet in 1970. Modified versions led to the civil General Electric CF6, which entered service in 1971 on the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and the internal power section, with the front fan removed, formed the General Electric LM2500 marine gas turbine. The last TF39 was produced in March 2016, and its last operational use came the following year, after the Galaxy fleet was re-engined with the F138, a derivative of the CF6.
