18,260 lb (8,283 kg) I believe thats the entire engine though not just the propulsor/core section shown in the picture above.
May be the shipping stand for the added weight.

You can also see the large fan case support bar in the lwr rt corner of the pic, I am surprised it is not bubblewrapped, supposedly not much tolerance for damage to this thing.

'Such a nice jet. Carbon fiber and it carries all that weight'
Don't think so, the 777 is pretty much all conventional Aluminium construction.

SMT Member,
Thanks for the pictures of the propulsor and fan sections loaded. Our MX instructor told us that the GE90-115B Nose Cowl Assy couldn't be transported as one lump on a 744F/777F. Obviously you have the knowledge. Ever transported one or know if it will fit? The said instructor was a little wide of the mark on some other facts so was just wondering if this was correct?

I don't know if it's possible, but given the size of the thing I have my doubts since it's almost the same diameter as a 737 fuselage (give or take). Never heard of anybody trying.

Training Information Point
You can separate the upper and the lower halves of the inlet
cowl to move it. The upper and the lower halves are matched
sets. They are not interchangeable with other inlet cowl halves.
ref mm
TASK 71-11-01-000-801-H01
2. Inlet Cowl Disassembly
(Figure 201, Figure 202, Figure 203, Figure 204, Figure 205, Figure 206, and Figure 207)
A. General
(1) This task is the disassembly procedure for the upper and lower inlet cowl halves. You use this
task when it is necessary to separate the upper and lower inlet cowl halves for storage or
transport.
looks like that our instructor was right flightmech
also the only airplanes that can transport the whole inlet cowl without being separated in 2 are the AN124 and SHORT BELFAST, ref 777 Engine Ground Handling, GE90

I believe we (Atlas) have moved some GE90 and the new 787 GEnx engines without removing the cowls...but on the B744-LCF (Large Cargo Freighter).

The LCF is insane! I suppose it all depends whether you're packing weight, volume or outsize freight. The -8 (not -800!!) is a great machine, which can be great in case you don't need the range.. Apples and pears really,,

Cedgz,
Theres never a Shorts Belfast around when you need one! You couldn't blame me for asking. He did mention it could be transported and assembled on arrival. You know the instructor I'm talking about! You NEVER fix this airplane by pulling c/bs. Yeah right

Flightmech,
exactly the same instructor, "when i was at U....."
he's right, it can be assembled at arrival, but for sure the plane will not leave the same day

I forgot the names of his dogs. I think he left because he was way too good, and so he could share his absolut knowledge to the others. And also, the stories were so nice
