Describe the Engine
CF34 3B1 Hot and High
Single stage N1 provides bypass air and 80% of total thrust connected to 4 stage low pressure turbine. 14 stage axial flow compressor N2 section that is connected to a 2 stage high pressure turbine.
Off N2 are the 10 and 14th stage bleeds that provide pneumatic pressure for the Air conditioning PACKs and Anti-ice system. Also connected to N2 is the accessory gearbox
