As aircraft have become more and more advanced to meet the needs of the industry; so have the engines. From more thrust and turbines to ultra-low emissions combustors, engines have truly evolved over the years - but how well do you know them?
Take this week’s quiz to see if you can guess the engine from the picture.

Classic Engine Options
Older variants of the 777, such as the -200ER and the -300ER, have three engine options in the form of the GE90 (pictured) PW4000 and the Rolls-Royce Trent 800. Aviation Week's Fleet & MRO Forecast estimates 50% of all maintenance spend for the 777 over the next decade will be generated by engine work.
Narrowbodies Drive Engine Growth
Narrowbody engines will be the driver of growth at an estimated 3.8% compound annual growth rate. Narrowbody engines, bolstered by the growth of the LEAP and the GTF, are predicted to have a 61% fleet share by 2030, according to Aviation Week Network's latest Civil Aviation Fleet & MRO Forecast.
