PROPULSION

GE CF34-3B family

2 × GE CF34-3B (650: -3B MTO)8,729 lbf each (650: 9,220 lbf)

The CF34-3B has been the Challenger 600-series powerplant since 1995. The 650's -3B MTO variant adds maximum-takeoff thrust for hot-and-high performance. Falcon performs HSI coordination and on-condition module repair.

VARIANT BREAKDOWN

Three iterations of the 600-series wide-body

The 604, 605, and 650 share airframe and powerplant family but differ on avionics, cabin systems, and thrust ratings. The chip-row switches between data strips.
