Work on the TF34 engine began at the General Electric concern at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, and their goal was to create a power unit for Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II and Lockheed S-3 Viking aircraft. The work was successfully completed in the early 1970s, and the new engine entered service as planned.
