Hi,
I'm wondering if there's an easy way, when you see a Boeing aircraft type, let's say 747-430, that stands for the 747-400s of LH, to know with which engine it is equipped. If you see an Airbus 340-541, that immediately tells, thanks to the 4 in 541 that it has RR engines. Anything like that at Boeing?
Thx
(for those who may wonder, Airbus uses 0 for GE, 1 for CFM56, 2 for PW, 3 for IAE, 4 for RR, and soon 6 for Engine Alliance)

I believe that the model number on Boeing aircraft, tell you the Customer, i.e .the example you used was a 747-400, and Boeing Customer number "30" - Lufthansa.
That's a great question though... I'm wondering how you would find out the engine manufacturer?

While your example is correct it is not always sold to the airline that corresponds with the code. The aircraft is built for a certain airline but may never serve that airline yet it will carry that code for life.
