The engines, how can you tell?
Hello all,
I have been trying to find out how one is able to recognize the engines on the Cathay aircraft by comparing pictures with known engine types on those particular aircraft. However, I seem to be unable to get a grip on that. Generally I see two different engine pods, the ones that have parts of the core exhaust system protruding from the back end of the cowlings and the ones that don't. Initially it seemed that the latter type contained the RR engines, but looking at A340-300 photo's that does not hold up since that aircraft has CFM engines only (source Airbus website). Any pointers here? I do have a life and already have several hobbies, I am just curious...
Thanks very much!
