The CF34-1/3 Series is a single- stage turbofan in the 9000 lb thrust class with a fourteen-stage compressor, annular combustion chamber, two-stage high pressure turbine and four-stage low pressure turbine.
Are turboprops better in bad weather?
Turboprops are designed to fly at lower altitudes than jets, making turboprop aircraft less recommended for bad weather. A turboprop is more prone to be influenced by weather and turbulence at the lower altitude it flies at. In comparison, a jet can cruise casually through rougher weather at a higher altitude. Planes with turboprop engines are typically limited to a lower cruising altitude than jet engines, capping at around 25,000-30,000 feet. Because of this, turboprops are also more susceptible to turbulence, noise, and inclement weather.Turboprop engines are most efficient at speeds between 250 and 400 mph and altitudes between 18,000 and 30,000 feet. They also perform well at the slow speeds required for takeoff and landing and are fuel efficient.
What aircraft has a CF34 engine?
The CF34-3 engine is the sole-sourced engine on the best-selling large business jet platform, Challenger 650 business jet. It also powers the CRJ200 regional airliner. In markets where reliability, durability, and time-on-wing matter, the CF34-3 consistently delivers. More than 7,500 CF34 engines are in service with more than 900 Regional and Business Jet operators globally.
