Quoting LY777 (Thread starter): And are these engines more or less powerful than the GE90 and the RR engines that power the 777-200ER? |
Quoting LY777 (Reply 3): I thought that KL 777 were powered with GE?! |
Quoting Stitch (Reply 5): P&W does offer a 99,000lb version - the PW4098 - but it is used only on the 777-300A model, I believe. |
Quoting LY777 (Reply 8): The GE are the most impressive!!!I enjoyed them on AF 772s last summer!!! |
Quoting FlyDreamliner (Reply 10): I believe ANA's 777s are PW powered, and while I am not certain, I believe Malaysia's may be GE powered, however I'm not certain on that one. |
Quoting FlyDreamliner (Reply 10): As was mentioned, no PW4098s are currently in service anywhere, and though they remain an option, they aren't really, due to their significant technical issues, which was the reason PW was forced to take them back in the first place. |

Quoting MarkC (Reply 9): Pratt took all the 4098's back from Korean. There are now no operators of this engine. |
Quoting AA777223 (Reply 15): UA, the largest operator of PW powered 777s has -76s on their A model planes, and detuned 90s on their ERs, making them incapable of performing many of the operations seen by other companies 777ERs, and even Uniteds own 744s |
Quoting Stitch (Reply 12): I had thought there was an issue with the PW4098 (emissions?), but wasn't positive so I didn't want to note it in case I was incorrect. |
Quoting CPDC10-30 (Reply 4): AI, whose 777s are ex-UA are all PW powered. |
Quoting PM (Reply 18): Oh, and - of course - such airlines as have picked up ex-UA planes: Air India, Varig (as was) and...? |
Quoting Boeing764 (Reply 21): line number 610 a 777-200 (looked like an LR because of the wing tips) for Air India and I think it had P&W engines. |

Quoting OyKIE (Reply 26): Why was the PW4000 for the 777 much worse than the PW4000 for the 767/747? IIRC those engines was the preferred choice for those planes as well as the leading engine on the A330. SAS has been a long time P&W costumer, but they changed to RR when they got their new A330-300. What has been the problem at P&W? Did they not update their engines in the same way as much as RR and GE did in that market? |
Quoting OyKIE (Reply 26): Would it cost to much for PW to just fix the problem with the 4098 engines rather than just remove them from market? |
Quoting Airmansv (Reply 24): Henceplease understand these parameters before you start to use them for comparison purposes indiscriminately. |

Quoting Boeing764 (Reply 21): I was on the Boeing factory tour yesterday and in the final assembly position was line number 610 a 777-200 (looked like an LR because of the wing tips) for Air India and I think it had P&W engines. |
