Thrust on A380 General Electric Engine
Hi all
How much thrust do the A380 engines have each?
I read that the 777s have 15, 300 each ( is that accurate) but when I googled that question about the A380 thrust, I got all different answers so would appreciate an accurate figure please.
One answer did say 7,000 lbs on each.
Thanx in advance:

The Rolls Royce Trent 900 on the A380 is certified for 2 different ratings - 70000 lb and 72000 lb of thrust.
It has been certified at a much higher thrust level (80k) but not for use on the A380 unless the -900 makes an appearance.

This is the other A380 engine (EA 7200)
Engine Alliance GP7200 - The Engine for the A380
Similar output to the Trent 900 it seems.
