SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparison between the Trent 1000 and GE NX turbine engines, specifically for use in the Boeing 787. Participants debate the mechanical superiority of each engine, with a focus on the advantages of three-spool versus two-spool designs. The consensus leans towards the need for more detailed analysis to determine which manufacturer, Rolls Royce or GE, is better positioned to support the 787 in the long term.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of turbine engine mechanics
  • Familiarity with the Boeing 787 specifications
  • Knowledge of two-spool and three-spool engine designs
  • Awareness of the aerospace industry and manufacturer capabilities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical differences between two-spool and three-spool turbine engines
  • Explore the performance metrics of the Trent 1000 and GE NX engines
  • Investigate Rolls Royce and GE's support capabilities for the Boeing 787
  • Examine industry trends in turbine engine technology and design
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, aviation enthusiasts, and professionals involved in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance will benefit from this discussion.

what's the consensus?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
They are both turbine enines to be used on the 787. If you want more than that, you need to seriously write more than 3 words.
 
I'll go one step further...three vs. two spool. NEXT!
 
ok. In the view of PhysicsForums, which is mechanically the better engine, is Rolls Royce or GE better placed to support the 787 (if it ever gets delivered, which is another question entirely) and in the long-game, will two or three spool win the rotatives war?
