THE GENERAL ELECTRIC TF34-GE-2 turbofan engine was designed and developed specifically to fulfil the powerplant requirements of the S-3A. Consequently, engine design considerations included both anti-submarine warfare mission requirements and compatibility with a carrier-based environment. To meet both, the engine features high thrust-to-weight, low fuel consumption over a wide power range, low noise and smoke, and corrosion resistant materials throughout.
