One plane, 2 different engines

[McWigglebum4th]

If sir pops down to his local airbus dealer one can spec a A380 with Rolls Royce engines or something an american made


If i have an A380 with american engines how much work is it to fit it with proper british engines?

I have no idea about 'planes specifically, but in industry you always try and second-source stuff if at all possible.

They might not exactly be plug and play but I'd be amazed if Airbus haven't insisted on a lot of compatibility between the two suppliers.

That is what i am wondering if they are plug and play or lets build a new plane as it is cheaper
