GE Aerospace celebrates 30 years of the CF34 engine powering regional aircraft. Accumulating more than 200 million flight hours and over 157 million flight cycles, GE remains committed to evolving and investing in its CF34 engine portfolio to help ensure the continued success of regional aviation.

A world-leading provider of military jet engines, and a U.S. Air Force partner since 1947, GE is poised to support the next generation of USAF needs. An unparalleled suite of innovative GE products stands ready to meet emerging mission demands.

GE Aviation's history working with the Air Force dates back to the dawn of the jet age, when the U.S. military branch was established on Sept. 18, 1947.

The CF34-10 engine assembly returned to where it all began—Durham, North Carolina with the first -10A engine shipping out last month.

GE Aviation's CF34-10 and Passport engines are the most proven offerings to re-engine the B-52 and offer the highest mission readiness to the U.S. Air Force. 

This June marks the 50th anniversary of GE Aviation’s dramatic return to the airline industry by launching the original CF6 engine on the Douglas DC-10.  This seminal milestone put GE on a course to become one of the world’s commercial jet engine dynasties.  

The results of the 2017 AIN Product Support Survey are out and for the second year in a row, customers have selected GE as the #1 provider of engine support for business jets.

Twenty-five years since its first regional airline flight, GE Aviation's CF34 engine continues to set the standard for performance, durability and reliability for regional jets around the world. Today, the CF34 engine family powers more than 12,000 daily passenger flights operating in 130 countries and 1,400 cities. That adds up to 4.4 million passenger flights and 140 million flight hours accumulated annually on Bombardier, Embraer and Comac aircraft.

Watch GE Aviation’s original Queen of the Skies, the Boeing 747-100 Flying Test Bed take one of her last flights and hear from those who knew and loved her.
