A380...big

Postby RIC_BARKER » Tue Mar 30, 2004 4:15 pm

It's starting to become obvious this thing is going to be huge.

Rolls Royce Trent 900 Engine. Almost 100,000lbs of thrust each, and this thing will have four!

That's right yes. The engines are "derated" in much the same way as the CFM56-5s and V2500 on the A320 series are.

I expect it'll be handy to have that extra "umph" in there when they expand the model range.
