Big engine

Is that a 777?

 

[t-cart]

And all this time I thought Doug was just really short.

 

[mooneyguy]

It's just amazing how big those things are!

 

[Bsmiller05]

Those GE90's are ridiculous! So much power, and so massive too. If I'm not mistake, can't a 737 fuselage technically fit right through the intake of a GE90?

Great shot!

He is.

Yeah it can.

That's awesome!

He is.

5'9, chump!

You just need to crank up the bluster level Doug. You too could be a big tough guy on the internet!

5'9,

Didn't know that they stack it that high!

I think if you take the landing gear out of the equation, yes it could!

I think if you take the landing gear out of the equation, yes it could!

Also, perspective...the 737 is closer to the camera than the 777 engine, and will look a bit bigger...

The 787, looks like it also has ginormous engines as well. However the Trents don't look as big as a GE90!

The fan blades are 128ins in diameter.

The interior cabin width of a 737 is 139ins.

The exterior is 147ins.

So it is close, but no cigar.
