@julesgymnast And in fairness I feel I should counter the "big hand grenade" comment aimed at the Trent, by mentioning that the FAA ordered urgent inspections of CF6-45 and -50 last year because of 4 uncontained failure incidents. I'm not anti-GE but I do like to see a little bit of balance; RR may have not had the best of times recently with the Trent 900 issue but GE's history is far from clean, the CFM56-4B episode mentioned by @raykrislianggi is a prime example
@julesgymnast Just for the record, Rolls-Royce was the first to 115k lbf with the Trent 8115, GE got a monopoly on the 772LR and 773ER because they offered to be a risk sharing partner in the project. GE90s have had reliability issues, BA actually switched from GE to RR T800 for their second tranche of 777s because of that very reason. Not heard much about the GEnx or T1000 on the 787, I know the latter was certified first but suffered an uncontained failure last year.
@octaviorisso97 All BA 777-200ER with registrations G-YMMx are equipped with RR Trent 895s, the older aircraft beginning with G-VIIx have GE90-77Bs. I'd post links but YT won't let me, but I'm sure you know how to use Google. Anyway, out of 49 777s delivered, the later 19 are RR powered.
@ckyliu oh I didn't know that, Thank you otherwise I still think that GE90 is better than RR Trent 800. Is true that 895 is better than the GE90-94B but the accident record is for GE90. A BA b777-200er with rr trent 895 had an accident when landing at LHR, from BA they said that it was a problem with the engine
@octaviorisso97 The official AAIB report agreed with BA, they say it was a freak accident involving the engines fuel-oil heat exchanger design and ice formation in the fuel tanks. I'm not aware of any serious GE90 incidents, but they were known to set themselves on fire occasionally when on the ground!
Having said all that, the Trent family also competes with GE's CF6 which doesn't have such a great record, quite a few incidents of containment failure with fan discs, that's downed a few planes.
huh??? do you know that rolls-royce is the first to built and design a turbofan engine?? and since then they become the second largest engine supplier.rolls-royce learned on trent 900 incident on qantas for sure it will not happened again. 787 is screwed because of its modern design. trent 1000 is ready for the last 3 years! and modification is carried out since to make sure that you have a safe engine when you fly 787 in the future!
@julesgymnast That's not entirely true. I agree that GE produces the most powerful jet engine in the world, but there are several major disaster with the Boeing 737-400 with the GE/Snecma CFM56-4B engines when it's first launched, and those incidents cost many lives. I like Pratt & Whitney because they pioneered several jet engined aircraft since the 1950s until now and they produce reliable engines. But I love Rolls Royce engines the most. The Trent 900 Incident basically has no effect in mind.
@douro20 yes, no doubt at all, but the next trent series had several problems such as the TRENT 800 and 900. the trent 800 in an accident in a British Airways flight, and the trent 900 with the QANTAS incident
That was French incompetence...UK Concorde has the best safety record in the world (0 crashes) and even that French incident was not related to the engines lol. They just needed to learn how to keep the runways clear of debris...
@29Gixxer too right, air-france's concorde, and if france had the same health and safety regulations as we do in the UK with discipline it would never of happened, which is all to clear by the fact that france has no central health and safety government governing body like we do in the UK.
@baza7008 I still prefer GE engines. The GE90-115B has one of the best safety records. and is the most powerfull. RR uses titanium for their fan blades. GE uses composite blades. Which is much lighter.
@EpiDemic117 theirs no such thing as composite blades. titanium is the lightest and strong metal use by diff. manufacturer. i maintain trent 800 and ge90-115b before , and i will say that rolls-royce trent 800 is better that ge90 maintenance wise and power wise ? almost the same..
@Pumpkin8225 go search it up. GE uses carbon fiber composite blades with titanium edges on the blade tip. Not just that but around the shroud they also use composite materials.

It's too bad that the Trent is suffering the problems it is right now. The RB.211-524 has one of the best service records of any aircraft engine.

I agree. These engines are the best in the world. But is the oil heat exchanger on the 777 sorted out yet?
