Hi,
About 20 years ago, PW engines used to be very popular, but in recent years PW engines have fallen out favor. On the Boeing 777-200ER, the PW 4090 engine (91,000 lbs of thrust) fell out favor because it was less powerful than the GE90-94B or the RR Trent 895, which produce about 93,000-94,000 lbs of thrust. In addition, PW's next-gen engine for the Boeing 787 was rejected and PW's most recent engines have been produced in partnerships with GE (GP 7200) and RR (IAE V2500).
Will PW engines continue to fall out of favor as airlines continue to buy RR and GE engines or PW eventually manage to come back?
