Options Wonderland

FWIW, I've been out to GE Aviation's testing and research facilities a few times on business, and was always impressed by their superb engineers and the company's commitment to productivity enhancing "Lean" programs. Walking around their plants a few times helps give you the conviction to hold long term, lol. Typically, customers choose which engines they want on an airplane, and for the Boeing 787 in developemnt the only 2 choices are Rolls Royce and GE's next generation engines. Also indevelopment at Boeing is the 747-8, and the GE next gens (GEnx) will be the only option.
