General Electric CF34-8C1
General Electric CF34-8C1 exact turbofan variant in the CF34-8 series. EASA rates normal five-minute takeoff thrust at 56.36 kN (12,670 lbf), maximum takeoff thrust at 61.34 kN (13,790 lbf), and maximum continuous thrust at 59.05 kN (13,277 lbf). GE records the CF34-8C1 entering service in 2001 on the Bombardier CRJ700 and documents it as the launch member of the CF34-8 series; the existing CRJ700 family relationship remains separate from this propulsion identity.
