Another geared turbofan

Looks like Pratt will not be alone in building a geared turbofan engine. RR and Liebherr have decided to jointly develop one. I wonder if GE will follow suit. They've long been opposed to geared jet engines.

ROLLS-ROYCE and LIEBHERR-AEROSPACE agreed to form joint venture to develop power gearbox for new UltraFan engine; initial power gear drive components will be manufactured by Liebherr.
