The Ultimate 767 Engine Comparison Video!!! Choose Your Favorite!!!

[@KDFWAviation]

This is actually a tough decision. The CF6's & PW4000s had the best spool ups. The RB211's screams full power goodness in your face and was the loudest out of all of them which is definitely good! This is a tough call. If i picked one. The slight edge goes to the RB211's. The order would be. 1. RB 211's-Epicness Level-(10/10) Spool Up-(9/10) Overall-(9.5/10) 2. GE CF6's-Epicness Level-(9.5/10) Spool Up-(9/10) Overall-(9.2/10) 3. PW 4000's-Epicness Level-(8.5/10) Spool Up-(9.5/10) Overall-(9/10) The best comparison video i've seen! All three of these are awesome engines! Liked & Faved!

Dallas-Ft. Worth Aviation ...I agree with your comment!!!

[@gregcampos1118]

I'd have to go to the one that uses less pounds per hour in fuel during flight. All seem awesome during takeoff!!!

[@philmontejano5971]

CF6 AND P &W are both best sounding. RR looks definitely not as good on the airplane, any airliner

[@LEMMYLEMON]

@@philmontejano5971 RB 211 does look good on 757 tho

[@RyanEmeryLovesCars]

CF6-80- A beloved American workhorse in the aircraft industry powering the skies for over 40 years.PW4000- The underdog in the turbofan world fighting with other engines to make a solid statement.RB-211- Britain's finest engineering competing against American aerospace manufacturers in the aircraft engine world and also a beloved favorite to all of the "buzz saw" fans.

[@AlexTrain5249]

Yes, but the CF6 sheared off and severed itself in mid flight. Pratt and Whitney on the other hand was the first powerhouse for the 747 and was almost always the most powerful for many planes and the most efficient.

[@JayManLive]

Alex Paumen Let's not forget that PW had an explosion problem with its first 747 engines.

[@UNISAIRLINE]

I love the GE. Thats is super nice!

[@dodoubleg2356]

GE CF6 gets my vote for 2 reasons...1. Ima sucker for that deep, throaty engine growl. 2. The PW was the quietest, the RR the loudest, the GE has the best of both worlds. It has the aforementioned engine growl which the PW lacks, but isn't as obnoxiously loud as the RR...I love these engine comparisons btw, keep up the good work & thx 4 posting!!!

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

All of them have to be my favorite! Phenomenal video as always!

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]

I like them all... the PW has the smoothest sound, the RR has the loudest sound, and the GE has the most powerful sound; hard to say which is best...

[@joedfd43]

Mine is for the PW4000. She is the old school pioneer of the craft. Followed closely by the refinement of the CF6, and the then sheer power of the RB211.

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

The CF-6 and PW4000 are equally as reliable, but I've heard that the CF-6 burns oil and the PW4000 is basically immune to compressor stalls for whatever it's worth.

I love the hollow ghost-like sound of the PWs up until full takeoff thrust, then the CF6 takes over. The RB211 has much more character as a -535 on the 757.

[@Valium008]

GE for me!!! It sounds so smooth even if in the same time, we can feel the power of the thrust produced by this awesome engine. I prefer RR engine used on B777, the spool up sound is very typical, and I like to hear it before full power. I have to say, like many of other people I think, that I downloaded many of your movies on my computer, and watch them regulary just to enjoy the sound of planes taking off or landing from onboard view! You are very lucky to have the opportunity to fly so often :) Sincerely from Belgium! Cedric

I wonder how many ticket/gate agents were confused by this person's insistence on always getting seat 17A or 17K. I NEED row 17!!!!!!!!!! I'm loving your commitment to getting this comparison to us aviation geeks. Well done! for me it is the RB211 at around the 2:10 mark.

[@ntcrwler]

this is beautiful! Put tears in my eyes! The GE sounds the most refined, but the Pratt and Whittney offers the most satisfying spool-up sounds. Of the 3, i think the first got me the most excited when takeoff thrust was applied! :D

[@roshansrihari58]

I can't choose between RR and GE.Both rocked in this video!!

Awesome comparison video! Im still partial to the GE myself. Still awesome all 3!!!

GE CF6 is my vote, but all 3 sound awesome. The CF6 ( in my opinion at least) sounds the most powerful

[@medviation]

I like the PWs. They sound so smooth.

[@flightfeel]

For me it sure is the RR RB211 which wins! Fantastic sound. Although the GE CF6 has a great spool up. For a moment it wasn't easy to choose.

[@andyhampson5124]

Pratt & Whitney

[@areidful]

Great idea to compare engines and vote! Definitely P&W, however nothing beats the Pratt and Whitney PW4090-3s!

Great video again, just see the channel video list, looks like the greatest pod shot collection on the web. Subscribed!

[@OES-siv187bxuhk]

My favorite is the Pratt & Whitney PW4000

[@PlaneFenatic1]

GE is definitely my favourite.... love the whining sound it makes when spooling up for take-off (especially when done slowly, not as quickly as in this video), and it makes such a powerful roaring sound when at full power!

[@Roboseal2]

The PW4000 has an even louder whine if you actually listened to the video.

[@sharonmartin4705]

WOW...How Splendid.!! The transitioning from a sketch on all 3. Absolutely stunning.!! You are a superb artist also.! I watched 5 times. I was always partial to the GE, but then I chose the P&W. Rolls Royce is right up there too. Extremely hard to make a choice when all 3 are Heart-Stopping, for me, anyway. I LOVE all of your video's.
