Tricked-out 747 Classics?

Postby Yvan Ung » Fri Jan 04, 2008 4:45 pm

I have a crazy idea I want to share with you: to paint a 742 or a 743 with GE CF6-50 engines and outfit it with RR Trent 500 characteristics: 53/56 or 60k pounds of thrust in each engine, along with its fuel burn (by the way of a modified aircraft.cfg).

Anyway, it's something I thought of when I wanted to repaint aircraft.

I can say it has been re-engined with Trent 500s in the readme... do you think that kind of re-engining is possible in the real world? Or even acceptable?

Why not?  GE uses a 747 as it's test bed, so....

Anyhow, the neat thing about FS is that it's possible and a lot less expensive that in real life.  In FS, a jet engine is a jet engine.  THere's nothing to stop you from "re-engineering"  a LEar jet with the Trents....
