JPS 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Apparently the GE-90 engine is roughly the same diameter and size I would say of a 737 fuselage. Here is a picture of the mechanics at LHR in the late 90's positioning a 737 near the engine of a GE-90 777 to show this. http://myaviation.net/search/photo_search.php?id=00130585&size=medium So I thought why not give it a go in FS, I used a Continetal 777 GE-90 aircraft and a BA 737-400 at the same maintenance location at LHR: Hope you enjoyed this interesting article :-) Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Wow. That is quite amazing. I have recently travelled on a BA 734 and they seem reasonably big inside, with rows of 3 and 3. I think to really appreciate the size of that engine, however, you need to stand next to one! George Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Wow - that GE90 is HUGE! Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 :mrhappy: Just amazing how big those engines are. I can just remember my first flight in a 737 many moons ago :yes: and I thought that was a big engine then, :blush where will it end .:?: I love the way you did those shots. Well Done.
