GE Delivers 5,000th CF34 Engine

First Engine Entered Service In 1995

GE Aviation's CF34 engine recently surpassed 5,000 total deliveries. "This is a remarkable achievement for the CF34 engine family," said Chuck Nugent, general manager of the CF34 program at GE Aviation, in a news release Wednesday. "We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all of our customers for the success that the CF34 has achieved over the last two decades. As we look to the future, we are confident that the CF34 is -- and will continue to be -- the right choice for our customers' fleets, offering unmatched reliability, performance and value."

Every 8 seconds, a GE CF34-powered aircraft takes off somewhere in the world, accordin to GE. On a daily basis, CF34 engines travel the equivalent of 210 times around the planet and carry 500,000 passengers to their destinations. With a dispatch reliability rate of 99.95 percent and more than 50 million flight-hours, the CF34 engine epitomizes the reliability and durability necessary for high-cycle operation.

The CF34 engine has benefited from GE's extensive research and development investments. Since the first CF34-3B1 engine entered service in 1995, GE has enhanced the engine's design and improved fuel consumption. The latest engine model, the CF34-10E, has 9 percent lower fuel consumption than the original -3B1 model.

For the next-generation CF34 engine, GE plans to further reduce fuel consumption by 15 percent compared with the CF34-10E engine. The technology program will maintain CF34's tradition of world-class reliability for high cycle use and will incorporate GE's eCore technologies, including 3-D aero design airfoils, advanced materials, and the next-generation TAPS combustor for reduced emissions. Core testing began in 2009. The engine could enter service as early as 2015.
