GE, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney : Who Rules the Engine Market?

When it comes to engines, much like plane manufacturers, there are a few players leading the market. GE, Rolls Royce, and Pratt & Whitney are likely the names you hear the most when looking at the industry (or looking out the window). But which of these three giants is the leader? And what planes do they power? Essential parts The engine is an essential part of the aircraft, providing the power and thrust required to operate an aircraft and keep it in the air. Engines also determine  aircraft efficiency , a key factor in reducing emissions and fuel burn. When purchasing planes, airlines are faced with the option of which engines to put on their planes.

"Recent traffic has mostly comprised of essential repositioning traff...
