Airbus 380's NEW BIG ENGINE will change the entire industry! Here's Why.
"Commercial aviation", yes I know what you're thinking of, giant planes from manufacturers Boeing, Airbus, or Embraer. But you know, the truth is that they are just empty airframes that can no longer fly in the sky if one thing is missing. Engine, it is the key to the flight performance of aircraft. Pratt & Whitney has announced a powerful Gear Turbofan engine. And it is the result of continuous changes to improve efficiency.
Airbus 380's NEW BIG ENGINE will change the entire industry! Here's Why. So why is this engine said to change aviation forever? Can it compete with new generations of engines? Let’s dive in!
First of all, let's see how the geared turbofan operates. A geared turbofan is a type of turbo fan engine that has a reduction gear between the low-pressure compressor or turbine and its fan allowing each fan to rotate at an optimal speed.

And it can be lighter than traditional turbofans because they require fewer compressor and turbine stages due to their optimized design. This weight reduction can help save fuel and increase the aircraft's carrying capacity. A normal turbo blower engine has a fan at the front for air intake and a slightly smaller turbine inside, which they share with each other, but this is an inefficient shaft. The gearbox solution will allow both components to rotate at optimal speed, meaning the fan at the front will rotate much slower than the turbine inside. This will result in higher performance as well as lower noise generation.
