General Electric CF34-8C5A2

General Electric CF34-8C5A2 exact turbofan variant in the CF34-8 series. EASA rates normal five-minute takeoff thrust at 62.50 kN (14,050 lbf), maximum takeoff thrust at 64.54 kN (14,510 lbf), and maximum continuous thrust at 60.84 kN (13,680 lbf). GE describes the -8C5A2 as a higher-normal-takeoff-thrust derivative for the Bombardier CRJ1000, with 5 percent more normal-takeoff thrust and up to 3 percent more maximum takeoff thrust at low-altitude airfields, and identifies 2009 CRJ1000 entry into service; the existing CRJ1000 family relationship remains separate from this propulsion identity.
