CF34-10A FETT Achieves Successful Startup

Engine To Power China's ARJ21-700

GE Aviation tells ANN the CF34-10A First Engine to Test (FETT) was started up on schedule last week at GE's Peebles, OH test operation.

After a successful break-in run, the engine achieved 70 percent of its maximum thrust capability of more than 20,000 pounds during the initial test, which was conducted on October 8.

GE is developing the CF34-10A turbofan engine for the 90-passenger, twin-engine ARJ21-700 regional jet being developed by China Aviation Industry Corp. (AVIC1) for both the Chinese and export markets.

The FETT engine will perform initial performance calibration runs in October, after which it will be fitted with instrumentation for fan vibration and crosswind operability certification testing.

The first two flight-test engines are in final assembly at GE's facility in Durham, NC, and will be tested at Peebles next month in preparation for shipment to AVIC1 in December.
