Engines CX uses
Ok I have tried to use the search function on this site but to no avail. So I will throw it out and maybe someone can answer:
What specific engine model designations and their thrust ratings does CX use?
I know they use Trent 500,800,700 & the RB211-524G/H-Ts. But I am referencing 2 sources and they are both a little different. Please help if you can. Thanks.
ok and to make it easier for folks answering the question:
A/C Engine Thrust rating
B747-400 RB211-524H-T 60,600#
B747-400F " "
B747-200F RB211-524D 51,110#
B777-200 TRENT 8??
B777-300 TRENT 8??
A330-300 TRENT 7??
A340-300 CFM56-5C
A340-600 TRENT 556
Thanks again!!!

Dear jtr,
You know what I am trying to get specific, accurate info on the CX fleet engine model so I dont know what the perf init page says. On top of that there has been various max thrust numbers posted. I find that some of the max thrust avail posted here are greater than the numbers posted by the engine manf. web site. I was hoping the pilot forum will know for sure. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks jtr.

My above post is a question.
To expand, I thought the engines were G-T models with 58,000lb on the Pax fleet, and H-T models (60,600lb) on the fr8tr.
I was hoping to garner input from someone who knows the answer, as I would hate to lead you down the garden path.
Certainly the manuals refer to only H-T models now (I am only a recent convert to the gas-guzzling dinosaur)

According to the 747-400 ABC book, Cathay provided RR with an aircraft in 1998 to complete its G to HT certification program. Given CX's committment to the RR program, I would assume that all 747-400 in the fleet are HTs by now (stand to be corrected).
