A380 spec's

Trents are Rolls Royce, it is the Trent 900 details are
Engine certification was achieved on schedule in October 2004 through the
new European Aviation Safety Agency. Even though it will operate initially
at a maximum take-off thrust of 70,000lb, the Trent 900 is cleared at an
80,000lb rating, allowing margin for future growth. It reached thrusts in
excess of 90,000lb during early test bed running.

The Trents on the B-777 produce over 90,000 lbs. Aren't they the same engine
core?

D.

Worth noting that the 777 engines are actually quite a bit larger with
100,000+lb thrust capability:

Of course it mounts only two so total thrust is quite a bit less...

With a fan diameter of 116 inches, the Trent 900 is physically the largest
engine ever built by Rolls-Royce. It is also the world's cleanest large
turbofan engine, measured by emissions per pound of thrust.

That is one mother of an engine!

Hmmm I wonder if I could retrofit one of them to my C152 )

Bob,

In one, obviously
computer generated, it only had two engines.


Could that have been the A350?

I don't think so. It had two distinct rows of windows. Obviously an
Airbus-generated video. My guess is that it was an early version where they
hoped to get larger engines, but who knows?

I doubt it, the A380 has always been a 4 engine craft.

Ahhh, the airbus 7E7...
