The GE90 is the most powerful engine in the world (115000 lb), but does anyone know how much thrust it produces at idle? I remember someone telling me that the 737 CFM56 produces the same amount of thrust at idle as a Jet Provost military trainer. The GE90 must be a lot more!

It's about 3000lbs at idle.
