On my way into work of late, during my routine gathering of FOD (just because it's in the parking lot doesn't mean it can't be sucked into an intake someday), I've found a number of loose sheets from a "General Electric CF34 Heavy Maintenance Manual". Probably 10 or so sheets over the course of a few months. I don't question how the sheets made it to our parking lot (that's anyone's guess); I wonder what sort of aircraft this engine hangs on when it isn't being fixed by a couple of guys who opened the manual in the wind last April. None of our A&Ps knew the designation, but I'll warrant at least someone here does.

Thanks in advance,
Starsailor
 
The reason evades me why I didn't just type 'cf34' into Google. Apparently they also power the Challenger 601 and 604, according to the link provided. Thank you, skiddriver.
 
The Embraer 135/140/145 is instead powered by the Allison AE3007. Embraer's new 170/190, however is powered by the CF34
 
All the Canadair RJ series use one version or another of the CF34.

It is really a great engine. Outstanding reliability. Knowing it was designed for combat use (A10, S3) gives you a warm fuzzy every time you fly them.

And if nothing else, it makes a cool message board screen name. :)
