Just wondering what APU the 747's use?
The Classics and the -400 I'm after - a guy on another forum reckons they're a type of Garrett TPE331 core but I thought they were a lot bigger than that.

Classic - GTCP660-4 (Garrett/Honeywell).

B747-400 - Pratt & Whitney PW901A (twin 90KVA generators).

A380 - PW980 (derivative of the PW901A)

If the guy you are talking about was me in this post:

I mentioned the B757 not the 747. Honeywell bought Garrett and the model numbers are now a little bit different. You can see them here:
