This Is How Powerful The Airbus A380 Is

The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest commercial jet equipped with four engines that give the superjumbo some impressive performance capabilities. The A380’s two engine options – the Engine Alliance GP7000 or Rolls-Royce Trent 900 – can deliver around 75,000 pounds of thrust (lbf) per engine to power the huge 72.72-meter-long widebody. The Trent 900 engine had been in the works for a proposed Boeing 747 variant but switched over to the A380 program, while Engine Alliance was a 50/50 joint venture setup for the same reason between leading enginemakers GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney.
