@FsimulatorX GE stands for GENERAL ELECTRIC its a jet engine company in USA and they produce jet engines for many aircrafts, while RR stands for RollsRoys which is situated in UK England and owned by UK, they produce also jet engines for many of the aircrafts operating round the globe. So the big difference is that GE "General Electric" is a jet engine company in USA and the RR "RollsRoys" is a jet company in UK. Even though they produce jet engines they have a big difference interns of Technlgy

@FsimulatorX RR use a three shaft configuration (more power hot and high take offs) with more possibility to adapt the engine for variant models of a given aircraft type. GE use two shaft and are using composite materials more. Both manufacturers have extensive experience of making jet engines.
