Setting the standard for reliability in regional and business aviation
With more than 7,500 CF34 engines powering regional aircraft, this engine family has logged more than 200 million flight hours and 157 million flight cycles. The CF34 has truly set the standard for performance, durability, and world-class reliability.
Proven performance and reliability over four decades
The CF34-3 is the sole-sourced engine on the reputable Challenger 650 business jet. It also powers the Bombardier CRJ200 regional airliner.
8,729 lbs of thrust
99.99% on time departure rating
61 million cumulative cycles
In markets where reliability, durability, and time-on-wing matter, the CF34-3 consistently delivers. GE’s CF34-3 engine started out in military as the TF34, most famously on the A-10 in the early 1970s. Since its service entry in 1992 on the Challenger 601, the CF34-3 engine has earned an industry-leading reputation as one of the cleanest and most fuel-efficient engines in its class, while being synonymous with reliability.
