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.

The city’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International airport was clogged with flight traffic and the world’s only solar-powered aircraft would spend nearly 30 minutes in the air before landing to set a world record. “It looked like an eagle, steadily circling in the sky,” said Vikram Jani, a student who was part of the throng that had gathered at the airport to witness aviation history in the making. Elsewhere in the city, as Si2 prepared for landing after a 14-hour “fantastic” flight from Oman, residents took to the streets and terraces to catch a glimpse of the no-fuel-only-solar bird. The last time Ahmedabad was this excited to see an airplane was perhaps in 1932, when the first commercial flight flying between Karachi and Mumbai made a stopover here. Pilot Bertrand Piccard, looking fresh and relaxed, emerged from the craft t...
