- I like the JT8D. It's the one I have the most experience with and boy is it loud! Yeah, I know that the JT8D planes' fuselages fit inside the GE90s, but they are still faster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_727#Specifications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777#Specifications
- JT8D is no 1 for me. The GEnX is 2.
- GE90. Boy is that one hell of an engine.
- GE-90 115B from the 777-300 ER.
- Whatever one is keeping my airplane flying... Seriously, I think the GE-90 has got to top the list... your JT8D powers airplanes that would fit INSIDE the GE-90
- The Rolls Royce Derwent; it's back to basics, flame in the cans engineering history.
- airbus a330-300
- RB211
- GE CF6-6D-because it was the engine for the dc-10-30(my favourite airliner)
- V2500 D5 - MD-90
- RB211 CFM-56 PW2043 IAE-V2500
- i dont know names and serial numbers of jet engines, and dont much care, just as long as it gets me across the atlantic quickly and safely, thats all that matters. but did i ever tell you i learned how to take off and land a piper cherokee?
- PT6-because I like to work on it.
- My favorite is the 787... lol not really I enjoy the extra 3000 which is the red bull plane
