About turbofan engines and whether the Airbus A340 have outsold the Boeing 777?
Sir, Thank you for your most interesting WebPages in http://www.geocities.com/khlim777_my. As a non expert in the field but with some basic background knowledge, I would be interested in learning about your opinion in the three-shaft versus two-shaft turbofan question. Both, Rolls Royce and GE/PW, of course, do have their arguments for or against the respective competitors’ design. However, starting from the RB211, it appears to me that the 3-shaft TRENT / RB211 family at RR “standardizedly” covers a considerably larger thrust range than GEs or PWs engines.
