General Electric CF34

The General Electric CF34 is a high-bypass turbofan engine derived from the GE TF34 military engine. The CF34 powers various regional jets including Bombardier CRJ series, Embraer E-Jets, and Chinese ARJ21. Over 5,600 CF34 engines were in service as of 2012. The CF34 has undergone various upgrades resulting in models like the CF34-10 which features a radically different high pressure spool and is used to power the Embraer E-190 and E-195 as well as the Comac ARJ21.

General Electric CF34

The General Electric CF34 is a civilian high-bypass


turbofan developed by GE Aircraft Engines from its TF34 CF34
military engine. The CF34 is used on a number of business
and regional jets, including the Bombardier CRJ series, the
Embraer E-Jets, and the Chinese ARJ21.[2][3] In 2012,
there were 5,600 engines in service.

Bombardier Challenger
The original engine contained a single stage fan driven by 850
a 4-stage low pressure (LP) turbine, supercharging a 14-
Bombardier CRJ
stage HP compressor driven by a 2-stage high pressure
(HP) turbine, with an annular combustor. Later higher Comac ARJ21
thrust versions of the CF34 feature an advanced Embraer E-Jets
technology core, with only 10 HP compressor stages. Developed from General Electric TF34
Latest variants, the -10A and -10E, were derived from the
CFM56 engine family, and have a radically different HP spool,
containing a 9-stage compressor driven by a single stage turbine. The
LP spool has 3 core booster stages behind the fan. Static thrust is 82
kilonewtons (18,500 lbf) for the -10E variant.

On wing times can reach 14,000 hours, an overhaul costs over $1.5
million and a set of LLPs $2.1 million for a 25,000 cycle life.[4] In
1995, GE invested $200 million to develop the -8C derivative for the
CRJ700.[5]

10 engines.[6]
