Whatever you love. GE is the survivor out of the three. lol Out of all the engines on 747-400. Majority of the 747-400F in these age use CF6. Its uncommon to see anything other than the CF6. All the passengers 747-400 nowadays also use CF6. All other 747-400 with other engines are mostly retired. PW might be the classic then, but CF6 is the true classic now. It's what the younger kids would see.
@@HunterHearstHelmsley yup you’re lucky! That plane was retired and scrapped in Taiwan in 2022… usually these special airplanes gets preserved but this one got scrapped for some reasons ：/ I got a piece of its skin form aviation tag though
I did some Investigating and I’m pretty sure the reason why the PW4000 had such a loud roar and noise was because it doesn’t have a nozzle. Unlike the Cf6 and Trent 700.
Both are good. TBH the 777 is a 10/10 for comfort so yeah but the A330 is my favorite plane but still, both are good and you can't do anything about it. If you have a problem about this, cry about it lol.
I have to say the CF6-80E1 howl and idle noise are very classic to me, TAP had a lot of A332s that had the CF6-80E1 and that its my favorite along with the PW-4000
PW1100G often has equipment failures and requires maintenance. Recently, Vietnamese airlines🇻🇳 had to stop operating 44 types of A321 neo aircraft to hand over to Pratt & Whitney for inspection. Causes huge economic damage
Both engines have durability ptoblems but the PW more so than Leap. And both had contaminated powder metal problems but Leap caught it before PW. Leap will be incorporating design improvements this year to improve durability and On Wing Time. PW is introducing the GTF Advantage in 2024 which is said to have 1 percent less fuel burn, more thrust, run a little cooler and much better Time On Wing. Hopefully both manufacturers have thing sorted out now.
In terms of reliability yes however in terms of fuel efficiency, the PW1000G is better, especially when considering A321XLRs powered by PW1133G, for a long haul flight.
@@ramyfares9099 Regarding fuel efficiency and economics do you have a source where I can find (non-manufacturer) data on that? Thank you! Or how do you know PW is better.
CFM Leap 1A > PW1100G. Another airport in the region where you can see it is MNL🇵🇭 where Leap X comes in from OZ ICN🇰🇷 CX HKG🇭🇰 Air Asia KUL🇲🇾 MU PVG🇨🇳 local carriers PW1100G 5J and PR RP-C9930-RP-C9938 🇵🇭. The CI A321-271N has a maintenance issue with the PW1100G while CX A321-251N doesn't isn't affected by the PW1100G issue
