Engine Alliance is a 50% Joint Venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney formed in 1996 to produce large turbines for the new challenges for the Boeing B-747 series 500 and 600 as well as the Airbus A-380.
"GP-7000 series"
-The GP-7000 Program initially includes the following models: GP-7172, -7176, -7268, -7270 and -7277.
-The last two figures are the power indicators, that is, -7172 of 72,000 lbs. of thrust. With potential to reach 100,000 lbs. in successive developments.
"The immense A-380”
-Through the main participants there are other subcontractors that include MTU, Snecma (Safran) and Volvo.
