The GE on a C5 has a diameter of 97" and thrust of 43,000 lb, The GE on the 777 I am standing in has a diameter of 123" and a thrust of 90,000 lb The GE90 on the 777 has the most thrust of any engine made (for airplanes, no NASA poop lol) Newer ones are upto 127,000

HI atlbusa. I do not think I could make the GE90 fit in my busa.

Thats funny, I was an air force avionics tech, and "fixed" MH-53J Pave Low helicopters, the big brother to the Cyclone aka Sikorsky S-92. But if your son is active duty air force, why is he "fixing" navy birds?

 

[atlbusa]

Ohh how these posts morph from crap on a mag plug, to Big ass turbo fan engines, to military helicopters LOLOLOL

He's in the Canadian Air Force, all our air platforms fall under the Air Force regardless of where they are stationed. We are a small military and can't afford to segregate elements.

The Helos serve all elements (army, SOF, navy, air force) but only the air force maintains and flies them. We have an air force element on board ship for the helos there.

We even have army people serving on ships (support trades) and air force, navy people serving on air, SOF and army bases.

This is what I "fixed" If you all have seen the modern "Transformers" movie, in the start of the movie this attacked the base.
