Product catalog summary
Overview: The CF34-8C5 is a high-performance turbofan engine developed by GE Aviation, providing 14,500 pounds of thrust. It is used in Bombardier CRJ900, CRJ1000 airliners, and Challenger 890 business aircraft. The engine offers significant improvements over its predecessor, the CF34-3, including increased thrust, better thrust-to-weight ratio, lower fuel consumption, fewer parts, and enhanced maintainability.
Engine Variants:
  • CF34-8C5B1: A derated version of the CF34-8C5, powering the CRJ700 and Challenger 870. It is interchangeable with the CF34-8C5 for mixed fleet operations.
  • CF34-8C5A1: Provides an additional 2% NTO thrust and is used in CRJ900 aircraft.
Performance Specifications:
  • Maximum Takeoff Thrust: 13,790 lb (CF34-8C5B1), 14,500 lb (CF34-8C5)
  • Bypass Ratio: 5:1
  • Overall Pressure Ratio: 28:1 (CF34-8C5B1), 28.5:1 (CF34-8C5)
  • Thrust/Weight Ratio: 5.7:1 (CF34-8C5B1), 6:1 (CF34-8C5)
  • Noise and Emissions: Meets or surpasses ICAO Chapter 4 and CAEP/6 requirements
Milestones:
  • Program launch for -8C1: April 1996

GE Aviation The CF34-8C5B1 is the most recent member of the CF34 The CF34-8C5 is an advanced 14,500 pound thrust engine family to be certified for Bombardier applications. class turbofan propulsion system that powers the 90-passenger Bombardier CRJ900 Series airliner, 100- passenger Bombardier CRJ1000 Series airliner and Series airliner and Bombardier Challenger* 870 business Bombardier Challenger 890 business aircraft. The engine aircraft. It replaces the CF34-8C1 initially delivered on features 50% more thrust, higher thrust to weight ratio, over 200 CRJ700 aircraft. With minimal changes, the lower specific fuel consumption, reduced number of parts, CF34-8C5B1 is fully interchangeable with the CF34-8C5 and improved maintainability and component lives as on either the CRJ700 or CRJ900* aircraft, providing compared to the CF34-3. The engine achieves these optimum value for mixed fleet operations. The dramatic benefits while retaining all the reliability, CF34-8C5A1, delivering an additional 2% NTO thrust, performance and environmental characteristics that have recently entered service on Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. earned the CF34® family of engines a global reputation for exceptional service on Bombardier Challenger 601, 604 and 605 corporate aircraft and 50-passenger Bombardier CRJ200* Series airliners.
