I've worked on both GE's and RR turbofans. GE-CF6-50's on the A320 airbus and RR-RB211-535E's on the B-757-200. Both were excellent engines. From a sound perspective though, I prefer the roar of the RR engines especially running on the ground full power adjusting the fuel control! Standing on the sides of those beasts running full power with the cowls open is something I'll never forget. Concrete vibrating under your feet while 42 thousand lbs of thrust fly out the back 4ft from your face....priceless! ;)

[@fighter5583]

@@piggyjain8720 I've sat in the same seat as the guy in the RR part of the video. GEnx is definitely quieter on takeoff.

[@Lex5576]

The two engines actually sound quite similar. I think the difference in this video had more to do with the seating arrangement. The footage of the Trent 1000 was taken from in front of the intake. The footage of the GE was taken practically right beside the engine cowling, which insulates a lot of the characteristic sound.

[@exploranator]

Funny you should say that, as the sound coming from the front of the engine at cruising speed would hit really close to the position of the camera in the GEnX video. In fact, at sonic speed, it would make the RR engine silent. The advantage in this video is to the Rolls Royce, as far as a quieter microphone position goes, when at cruising speed. Think of it. Sound leaves the front of the engine. That same sound then hits air at around 400 to 500mph. This diffracts the sound travel to more straight sideways the faster the engine goes up until the speed of sound. Above the speed of sound, the sound is actually behind the engine. The point being that right beside the intake face of the engine at cruising speed will still be loud. There is also the sound transmitted through the skin of the airplane to the passengers. On the 787 they use LESS sound deadening than they do on other planes due specifically to the GEnX engine, so if the second plane is a 787, you have to consider it is also experiencing that lower noise with a lower level of sound deadening.

I'm not sure how RR Trent1000 fan blades are built but from my own experience hydroforming and breakforming titanium flat pattern parts you have to underlay or overlay annealed titanium sheet with stainless steel sheet metal when you form it or it simply cracks. If you try to bend it with the bend radius too small it cracks. Sometimes if you don't polish the edges it cracks. In addition annealed titanium has to be kept very cold (deep freeze or dry ice) in order to maintain the annealed condition. If you let it get too warm before forming it it hardens and cracks. I guess what I'm getting at is the fact that titanium is very easy to crack.

Ah, the B 727. My father is an engineer and worked on designing part of the fuselage of the 727 when he was employed by Boeing. The 727 would later be nicknamed the "Cooper Special" after one was hijacked.

[@theprofessional3678]

D.B. Cooper?

[@Timbrock1000]

"D.B. Cooper" was the alias for a man who went by that name who in 1971 hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727. The day before Thanksgiving of 1971, he purchased a one-way ticket for a flight from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA. He paid the $18.88 fare with a $20 bill, and soon boarded the plane, a Boeing 727-100. The 727 was unique as it had a built-in retractable staircase that was built into the rear of the fuselage. Soon after the plane took off, he handed a flight attendant a note. The note read that he had a bomb. He opened his attache`, and showed her what she believed to be a home-made bomb. She took the note to the pilots. The pilots saw he was demanding to be given 4 parachutes, and $200,000 in cash. The pilots contacted Seattle-Tacoma airport tower, who then called the FBI, Secret Service, and NTSB. The CEO of the airline was also notified, and authorized the ransom to be paid, and told the pilot over the radio to see that everyone cooperated and did as "Cooper" told them. The plane landed, and when the parachutes and money were provided (brought on board by an unarmed FBI agent, who had strippeddown to his underwear and t-shirt as ordered by Cooper), the passengers were released. Cooper secured the money and parachutes, then forced the pilots and crew to stay onboard, and take off again. Cooper had ordered them to fly him to Mexico City. As the plane passed to 10,000 ft., Cooper activated the rear staircase, took his cash, and bailed out, parachuted over the forest surrounding Tacoma, Washington. He has never been seen since. The FBI kept the ca'cold case open until 1980, but with no leads, dropped it, and it was shelved as a "cold case". However, to this day, there is a $100,000 reward offered by the FBI for information leading to the arrest and conviction of "D.B. Cooper". Cooper, believed to be in his early 40's in 1971 would be nearly 90 today.

DCussen Maybe last few rows on the concord haha. Love your comment

[@meyer7312]

Well I think we know how this match up turned out. GE = Reliable

[@mikeygti8930]

Sorry, GE reliable? Ha.......

[@drewfwieuriskfi]

Rvssian Boi the fact that ANA stop using RR engines in their new 787 orders because RR engines have tons of problems

[@L_U-K_E]

Sehr lecker Maulwurfkuchen the A380 uses both engines from Rolls Royce and GE so if you knew which engine it was that failed we could find out which is more reliable

[@gymlord1629]

mtrujillo1973 Rolls Royce

[@alvarovasquezkennedy7511]

Any acoustics expert could see that therecorder seated in two very different seats for this test, and that alone makes a much larger effect than that prodi¡uced by the engine´s sound. Take into account differences in seats upholstery, recorder clothes and even minimal varoations in microphone lace, and you have a wide gap regaqrding soun characteristics that are not attributable to the engines.

[@violetaleslieramos8390]

Nice Wing Flex

[@dailyflightvideos2732]

Personale I think the RR sounds more powerful but the GE is much quiter

[@sreejithar450]

I work with GE aviation and proud to see positive reviews out there.

[@rickbailey189]

Both are superior engines. The GE is quieter from the sitting position at least. My question is this: which is more durable over the years and how many hours of flying time can each of the engines go before it needs to be replaced?

[@thunderamu9543]

I normally dig the growl of a RR; however, that one sounded like it was on its way to shelling out. The GE takes this contest hands down!

[@judebryanco966]

Genx so much quieter and pure power sound

[@bonk2468]

Jude Bryan Co it’s quieter because it’s at the side of the engine whereas the rolls Royce vid is in front of the engine

[@rshazlan2930]

Lol THERE IS NO POWER SOUND ROLCE ROYCE NAILED IT PURE POWER SOUND

[@GeneralKenobiSIYE]

The difference in angle would not make that much of a difference. The GEnx IS far more quiet than the Trents.

[@gunnermatic1]

the angle makes an enormous difference

[@robloxgamer2251]

Rolls Royce is my favorite engine sound.

[@sol2wit781]

General electric, Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce is my favorite. So I'm on no one's side which means I like them all :)

[@justanaturalcarguy4031]

YUP! Rolls Royce is the way to go

[@sergioborghesan6318]

I'm not a technician but GE seems quiter and more powerful. Probably a different design/technology. Great engine.

[@Winwin-ds7cc]

The sound of the Roseroy engine being loud when accelerating the plane for takeoff. The GE engine sound is quieter than during takeoff.😊

[@maxmaccarrone7661]

The genx is so quiet though I’ve heard both irl and I generally prefer the genx

[@JelmersAviation]

Awesome video mate!

[@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD]

Thanks you, glad you like it!!

[@Grimace_Integ420]

I'm fairly surprised, the RR engine had a high pitched tone with a louder engine growl, while the GE sounded soothing like white noise almost

[@saganich74]

Both great sounding engines but I would give the nod the the GE GENX because it sounds more subtle and refined. The RR Trent engine sounds like a muscle car at startup but a little noisy once in full spool and airborne.

[@tinkerbell321]

As a plane connoisseur, I like the RE's whine but to bear it for the entire flight (which may even be long-haul) would be brain-numbing. I will go for the GE. Thank you.

[@TrainsWow]

Definitly the GE because everyone else is saying RR

[@edgarchavezhdz]

Trent 1000 sounds like when my mom lifts me up in the morning making the banana smoothie :D 1:00

[@ricardomerello7107]

Filming conditions were different, but anyway, the GE seems to be much more silent, even if both engines were filmed in the same conditions.

[@daviddave5068]

GE engine sound really very smooth.

[@justanaturalcarguy4031]

nah I go for the Rolls Royce

[@pushitgently]

RR's Titanium fan blades vs GE's composites fan blades. ....well, tough choice though, both are pretty well engineered ....

[@cnordegren]

GTF will beat them both

[@jaco5115]

The best General Electric, regards from Mexico, City.

[@bennettsarvada]

At first I thought I didn't like the Rolls-Royce because I thought I started hearing compressor stalls at about 2:20 in the video. But then I watched it again, and it was just somebody sneezing. Both are magnificent!

[@KAZ64]

Rolls Royce for sure, I love the sound of them 👍

[@sol2wit781]

well than me too

[@jc4416]

I'll go for GE because it so smooth

[@meyerlandman8762]

That person sneezing really cracked me up. As for the engines, General Electric. Always.

[@Butter-ce7um]

The GE90 and the next gen GE9X is a beast!

GE by x1000, definitely the best engine

[@sidelinx7873]

The GE is more quiet and smooth, but if you compare them based on sound, I have to say the Trent sounds better.

[@georgeblackmore6542]

Yes, but this isn't about which of them sounds most like a Harley...

[@AtinzMizuki]

I hope you know the recordings weren't accurate. The position of the GoPro camera wasn't right, giving a Low quality sound and it wasnt right in front of the engine compared to RR, I can assure you GeNX is beautiful..

[@justanaturalcarguy4031]

yup. the Trents make it better

[@nigelshilton8706]

ha ha ha I can hear the moment (3:50) some sort of noise canceling kicks in! LOL

[@EllamKadavul]

Kids likes Car sounds Men like bike sounds Legends like AIRPLANE ENGINE ROARING SOUNDS ❤

[@hamannshaikh7398]

General Electric - GEnx is AWESOME every time & Any time. HATS OFF !!!

[@zarahizzielainebuizon6342]

So the ones who said Boeing is noisier than airbus well........ GenX come to the stage!!!

[@00bikeboy]

Both marvels of engineering.

[@toemblem]

I like them both. I want one of each on the planes I fly on in the future.
