Description: The CF34 engine is a derivative of combat proven TF34 military engine, which powers US Air Force A-10 and US Navy S-3 Viking, intended for regional jet aircraft. It has an outstanding reliability, durability and availability specially suited to high frequency routes. Moreover, the engine is considered environmentally safe due to its low noise and smoke emissions. These characteristics make CF34 the engine of choice for 50 to 100 passengers regional jets.

The first CF34 engine entered service in 1983 powering the Bombardier Challenger 601 corporate jet. Since then, it has been selected to power Bombardier CRJ-100, -200, -700 and -900, Bombardier Challenger 601/604, Brazil's Embraer 170/190 family of aircraft, and China's ACAC ARJ21. The engine, rated at 9,220 to 20,000 pounds of thrust, comprises three main models: CF34-3, CF34-8 and CF34-10.

The CF34-3 engine entered service in 1992 on the Bombardier CRJ100. The CRJ200 is also powered by the same engine. It provides economy (low fuel consumption) and excellent reliability for high frequency routes.
