Sentinel had 2 VFGs per engine, for example. So if you predict a future with directed energy weapons an option for 16 generators might have you covered!

The engine can be configured with an accessory gearbox for 1 or 2 Gens - BR710 in Global has 2, but in the 550 it has just 1. The F130 is a BR725 as used on the G650 - same core, just a larger N1 Fan. On the 650 it has only 1 Gen.
