General Electric CF34-8E2

General Electric CF34-8E2 exact turbofan variant in the CF34-8 series. EASA rates normal five-minute takeoff thrust at 55.20 kN (12,410 lbf), maximum takeoff thrust at 59.16 kN (13,300 lbf), and maximum continuous thrust at 55.78 kN (12,540 lbf). FAA airworthiness material independently confirms the CF34-8E2 designation within the GE CF34-8 family; no exact aircraft-family installation is asserted here without a source-specific relationship.
