The General Electric and Pratt & Whitney-led Engine Alliance GP7200 engine was installed for the first time on an Airbus A380 ultra-large airliner yesterday.
The first GP7200 was installed on A380 MSN009 on the outboard left position (pictured below). Airbus says the installation went "without any major problem".
The GE-P&W joint venture GP7000 programme also includes MTU, Snecma and TechSpace Aero as partners.
