L188
 

G'day can anyone tell me what a L188 is? CX operated them from 1959 to 1966.

Also keen to know what power plant is on the new 744 pax and power plants on the freighter fleet?

Cheers;)

Magnificent aeroplane.
Have heard it described as "the first aircraft to have the wings entirely embedded in the engines".

The new B744 pax (B-HKD,HKE) formerly flew with SQ, so they are powered by PW 4056.

The B747 Classic freighters have RB211-524C2 (51,500 lbs)/ RB211-524D4 (53,110 lbs)

:) All the best!

Cheers guys, my questions have been answered, just would also like to confirm that CX have only taken delivery of one of the not so new SQ 744s?
cheers P.R.

29.92, you forgat to mention the ex Varig/AHK 747-200s with the GE CF6-50E2, 52,500lbs thrust engines.

Thanks, Hotdog! :)

Pantyripper: Both B-HKD and B-HKE are now in service, the third ex-SQ 744 (B-HKF) will arrive in Dec 2005 according to www.cathaytalk.com

no C2's on the 200's - hasn't been for many years.
