  • I flew these during the war.

  • @imtiaz90 Idiot, if you actually took the time to watch the whole video, you'd notice that "Rolls Royce" is written in big letters on the engine. Next time, look before posting your comment.

  • @Jl777100 Last time I checked, there had also been four "uncontained failures" on GE built engines in recent years. In the interests of balance, I just thought I'd fill in the bits you seem to have missed. 

  • Last time I check RR-Trents have been blowing up in Indonesia! GE-None GE all the way

  • Cool

  • @Maverickrad Dude: don't take him on account: I prefer GE engines over RR any day of the week. And A.net sucks donkey balls already lol xD

    Cheers ^_^

  • how come not GE

  • @Maverickrad You're right, some ain't got a clue have they. Imagine this: ANA go to Boeing and say they want the 787. "No problem" say Boeing, "You got 2 engine choices, but 1 of them burns 25% more fuel/trip than the other". ANA man thinks for a minute then says, "ok, we'll go with the one that burns the 25% extra fuel". We know where tis is going, right. Suggest you go back to school and learn what criteria aircraft manufacturers use when selecting engine suppliers. Start with reqd SFC.....

  • @Maverickrad Its difficult to take someone seriously when they say the difference in fuel consumption in the GEnx & Trent equivalent is 25%. Had that been the case, RR would never have got the go ahead from Boeing to compete on the 787. So I'm gonna suggest you look at the recent discussion (particularly Reply5) on the merits of both:

    Better you check that out than rely on ignorance.
