  • Jt9d-70a?

    Have you flew on plane with JT9D-70A?

    What the sound like on JT9D-70A?

  • #2
    I have flown on a couple of JAL 747-300s with JT9D-7R engines, and I seem to remember the sound like a buzzsaw during takeoff. Cruise sound was pretty similar to other 747s as I can remember.

    First time
    [photoid=249597]
    [photoid=266257]

    Second time
    [photoid=396791]
    [photoid=396793]

    Is there a big difference between the JT9D-7R and JT9D-70A?

      The -70A was Pratt's attempt at competing with the RB211 and CF6 advances. The engine is distinguishable by appearing in nacelles more like a CF6 than an existing JT9D.
