Whats the engine difference between a:
Rolls Royce
General Electric
Pratt&Whitney
Mainly RR/GE engines are on offer for major commercial aircrafts such as B747/767/777/787 and A330/340/350/380 etc. but is there really a difference such as price, performance, efficiency, noise and so on?
I can only tell the difference by eye, but thats about it. An RR engine spins anti-clockwise but GE/PW spins clockwise. also, RR's engine shell is longer compared to a GE's, shorter and have a long cone protruding out at the back. And if I'm correct the RR's spin blades are curved (from the front) instead of a straight blade... also the $999.00 RR decal...
But anyway, I dunno why I prefer RR engines...
