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.

p.s. The GE90 used on the 777-300 is rated to 115,000 lb of thrust , with the RR Trent 800 on the -200 capable of up to 95,000 lb so your figures are slightly out!

This is the other A380 engine (EA 7200)

Engine Alliance GP7200 - The Engine for the A380

Similar output to the Trent 900 it seems.
