What engines does the CRJ-550 have?

• A. General Electric CF34-8C5B1 Engines
• B. Pratt & Whitney PW600 Engines
• C. Rolls-Royce RB211 Engines
• D. General Electric GE90 Engines

Answer: (A)

The CRJ-550 is powered by two General Electric CF34-8C5B1 turbofan engines. The CF34 family is the standard powerplant for regional jets, and the 8C variant is the high-bypass design used on the CRJ lineup. The specific -5B1 designation identifies the exact configuration chosen for this aircraft. The other options belong to different engine families used on different aircraft categories: PW600 is for very light/business jets, RB211 is a Rolls-Royce engine used on larger aircraft, and GE90 is a high-thrust engine for widebody jets like the 777. So the correct engine for the CRJ-550 is the General Electric CF34-8C5B1.
