Thanks again for all those who contributed to my last few questions. As you may have guessed I have a few more questions I would love your help with- I'm trying hard to prepare for any possible interview and am really putting the hours study in so would be most grateful for any help.
Just regarding the 737 800 CFM 56-7B engines:

Is there a critical engine???- I would say no as jet engines do not suffer the characteristics of a critical engine as Prop driven aircraft .
So which way do the fans rotate???
Do they both rotate anti clockwise as seen from the front??
I understand the expense of counter rotating engines would be rediculous!!
Would love if anybody could help clear this up for me.

Many Thanks,
SAR
