Does anyone know whether Finnair used PW or GE engines on their MD-11s? Also, is there a site or source for determining which aircraft used or uses which type of propulsion?
Sometimes I can tell just by looking at the jet engines from photos who manufactured those engines. Sometimes it is difficult for me. Thanks in advance for any information.

Re: GE or PW jet engines on Finnair MD-11s?
convair880mfan, based on information from rzjets.net, all eight Finnair MD-11 aircraft were powered by General Electric CF6-80C2D1 engines. Aircraft OH-NGA and OH-LGG had the CF6-80C2D1F variant.
Other A.net members will probably be able to give you additional sources, but http://www.rzjets.net provides general information about aircraft and operators. This site is not particularly comprehensive or specific, and occasionally not up-to-date, but it may provide you with some general, interesting data.

Thanks so much e38 and also thanks to hitower3.
Re: GE or PW jet engines on Finnair MD-11s?
One easy way to tell the difference is to see if the core cone sticks out of the engine. If it does, it's GE. If it's got a more rounded core exhaust and the cone is not visible, it's PW. Check out this article: https://airlinercafe.com/page.php?id=392

Thanks you LH707330. The whole article is excellent. The site furnished by e38 is a keeper too. I have bookmarked both sites. Thanks again.
