GE, Chinese Planemaker Sign Engine Agreement

AVIC I Will Build CF34s For Its Planes

Fledgling Chinese planemaker AVIC I announced this week it recently signed a deal with General Electric to manufacture turbofan engines for its upcoming ARJ21-700 regional aircraft.

Xinhua reports AVIC I (an abbreviation of its full name, China Aviation Industry Corporation I) will build the CF34-10A powerplants for use on its planes. A subsidiary of the planemaker will build the engines at a plant in the northeastern city of Shenyang.

The partnership is billed as the first such agreement between a Chinese company and a foreign entity for the production of passenger aircraft engines.

Previously, AVIC I agreed to import the GE turbofan to power the 70-90 seat ARJ21-700, which is expected to make its maiden flight -- along with its larger -900 cousin -- in March 2008.

Both jets are due to enter service in 2009.
