Historical Note
The General Electric CJ610 entered certification in 1961, derived directly from the military GE J85 turbojet — one of the most successful small jet engines ever produced. The CJ610 became the powerplant of choice for the first generation of purpose-built business jets, including the iconic Learjet 23/24/25, the Aero Commander Jet Commander, and the IAI Westwind. Its civilian counterpart, the CF700, introduced an aft-mounted fan based on the CJ805-23 design, making it the first small turbofan engine to receive FAA certification — a landmark achievement in business aviation history.
The CF700 powered the Dassault Falcon 20 and the Sabreliner 75A/80, extending the range and fuel efficiency of early business jets. Beyond commercial aviation, the CF700 served in the military as the TF37 and played a critical role in the Apollo program, powering the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle (LLTV) used by astronauts to simulate moon landings. Production ran from 1962 to 1982, with over 2,059 CJ610 units produced and more than 1,000 business jets powered by both types.

This collection spans the full CJ610/CF700 documentation ecosystem: from line maintenance and overhaul procedures to illustrated parts breakdowns, factory training guides, active service bulletins, and the official FAA Type Certificate. Coverage includes both the pure turbojet CJ610 and the aft-fan CF700 turbofan across all major variants — CJ610-1, -4, -5, -6, -8, -8A, -9 and CF700-2C, -2D, -2D-2 — with documentation dating from 1964 through 2025.
Engineering Norms and Standards
The CJ610 and CF700 were designed and certified under FAA Type Certificate E7EA, with the CF700 holding the distinction of being the first small turbofan to receive FAA certification. Engineering practices followed GE Aircraft Engines' internal SEI (Service Engineering Instructions) documentation series, with military variants conforming to applicable MIL-SPEC standards. The 8-stage axial compressor and 2-stage turbine gas generator architecture reflects GE's J85 lineage, with the CF700 adding a free-running aft fan stage for improved bypass ratio and fuel efficiency. Maximum takeoff thrust ranges from 2,850 lb (CJ610) to 4,500 lb (CF700-2D-2).
Specialized Documentation
This collection includes the active Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Airworthiness Directives package for the CJ610/CF700 fleet, covering combustion liner inspections, life-limited parts, and rotor blade compliance requirements. The FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet E7EA (Revision 13, 2008) is included in full, providing certified thrust ratings, temperature limits, fuel and oil specifications, accessory drive provisions, and all applicable notes for CF700-2C, -2D, and -2D-2 variants. Operators should consult GE Aerospace and the FAA AD database for current compliance status.
