CJ610

THE SUCCESS OF GE'S J85 FIGHTER ENGINE LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CJ610 FOR COMMERCIAL USE. IN 1962, THE  CJ610 ENGINE BROUGHT JET POWER TO BUSINESS AIRCRAFT WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SAAC LEAR JET 23.

CONSISTING OF FIVE MAJOR SECTIONS (COMPRESSOR, COMBUSTION, TURBINE, ACCESSORY DRIVE AND EXHAUST) AND WEIGHING ONLY APPROXIMATELY 400 LBS., THIS COMPACT LIGHTWEIGHT AXIAL FLOW TURBOJET ENGINE PACKS A BIG PUNCH WITH A MAXIMUM THRUST RANGING BETWEEN 2,850 AND 3,100 LB. 

TODAY, THERE ARE OVER 560 CJ610-POWERED AIRCRAFT IN OPERATION AROUND THE WORLD, WITH AN EXPERIENCE BASE OF OVER 16.5 MILLION SERVICE HOURS.

WITH A CURRENT IN-FLIGHT SHUT DOWN RATE OF .02, AND AN UNSCHEDULED REMOVAL RATE OF .04, THE CJ610  CONTINUES TO PERFORM WELL EVEN AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE.
