737...but yeah!OMG, that is like the fuselage of an E145!anic:
They are big, I got a tour of the GE factory and got to stand inside one of these. The spinner was a good 2 feet above my head still, and I am 6'2"!!!
Notice how large the engine is in comparison to the 747's normal engines, the GE CF6-80 turbofan.
Hell no , RR engines are much more complicated when it comes to maintenanceIt may look pretty, but I'll take a Rolls-Royce Trent engine any day over a GE-90. The Rolls is a heck of lot more maintenance friendly! R-R engineers certainly were thinking of A&P's and line maintenance operations when they designed it.

not only that , GE's are better as well when it comes to performance and fuel consumption
That looks like a P&W JT9, which is a little ironic on an airplane with GE written all over it. Also, did they ever put -80s on the 100/200? All the ones I've been around had CF6-50E2s.
Are they seriously considering putting GE90's on 74's, or is that more for show?
