Why the Boeing 777 has such large engines
The Boeing 777 is an enormous aircraft, and nearly all of its variants have a higher maximum takeoff weight (545,000 lbs - 766,000 lbs) than an Airbus A340-200 or A340-300 (606,000 lbs - 610,000 lbs).
The A380's gargantuan engines, each producing over 84,000 pounds of thrust, stand in stark contrast to the A320's compact CFM56s.
The aircraft has advanced powerplants.
