| 747 Outboard and Inboard struts. |
| Engine component accessibility on Rolls-Royce RB211-524G2 |
| Moving the "C" duct / thrust reverser. Careful boys; it's VERY heavy! |
| The external gearbox is sandwiched between the starter motor and the IDG. Above the starter motor is the kevlar fan blade containment band. |
| Close-up of the stand-alone T-772 oil tank. RB211-524G2's and D4's had the oil tank as an intergral part of the external gearbox. |
| The only component I am familiar with in this photo is the oil tank. |
| JetMech in the midst of a RR Trent 772. JetMech's roughly hewn mug has been replaced with something far more pleasant. |
| A close up of the Trent 772's most intimate regions! All that tubing reminds me of a CF6. |
| Turbine & compressor casings, fuel distribution manifold and injector nozzles, bleed valves and the housing for the external gearbox drive shafts. |
| Right hand "C" duct / thrust reverser opened to reveal the innards of the beast. |
