General Electric CF34-8C5
General Electric CF34-8C5 exact turbofan variant in the CF34-8 series. EASA rates normal five-minute takeoff thrust at 59.43 kN (13,360 lbf), maximum takeoff thrust at 64.54 kN (14,510 lbf), and maximum continuous thrust at 60.84 kN (13,680 lbf). GE records the CF34-8C5 entering service in April 2003 on the Bombardier CRJ900; the existing CRJ900 family relationship remains separate from this propulsion identity.
