    More problems for Boeing 787 and 747-8

    Now issues with GE engines and icing (or inability to get rid of) at high altitude and thunderstorms.

    Good Article.

    I was editing my photos from late august, september, I did notice, that LOT - Polish Airlines 787-8 Dreamliner has Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines...
    Just wonder, how many came out with GE and how many with other, like RR Trent engines...

    I count 54 with GE, 39 with RR, and 5 that could have either because ILFC ordered both, and I am too lazy to look and see which have been delivered thus far. I know the RR has been the launch engine for both versions so far, the 788 and 789
