The Striking Differences Between Rolls-Royce & Pratt & Whitney Engines

From the outside, when mounted on a commercial jetliner and covered in a cowling, it can be hard to tell the differences between any of the modern turbofan engines that they use. Two of the largest aircraft engine manufacturers in the worldwide commercial aviation industry are Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney. Rolls-Royce manufactures the famous Trent engine family, used on a wide range of widebody aircraft, such as the Airbus A330neo and A350, and also the Boeing 787 and 777 in the past.
