While some first-generation variants of the Boeing 777 family were optionally powered by the General Electric GE90 engines, Rolls-Royce Trent 800, and the Pratt & Whitney PW4000-112, subsequent generations were exclusively GE-powered. All three engines received a comparable number of orders for the first generation of Boeing 777s, with the Trent 800 being the most popular. And yet Boeing decided to exclusively power the second-generation Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 777-200LR with the GE90.

the Airbus A220 has been having a pretty rough time staying out of the hangar and in the air where it belongs. Yes, we can be grateful that it has thus far managed to avoid the same levels of bad publicity and disaster as the Boeing 737 MAX, but A220 operators around the world are most definitely experiencing challenges with the type. This has very little to do with the avionics and airframe design, and is pretty much all about the engines powering the jet – the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan engine. So this prompts us to ask the question: Should the Airbus A220 get a 2nd engine option?
