The Engine Alliance GP7200 is a new turbofan jet engine that will incorporate state-of-the-art advanced technologies of proven wide-body products from the world's No.1 and No.3 aero-engine manufacturers: GE Aircraft Engines and Pratt & Whitney.

Originally intended to power the still-born Boeing 747-X, the engine has since been earmarked for the Airbus A380 superjumbo.

The competing Rolls-Royce Trent was initially selected by almost all A380 customers, however the GE/PW engine has steadily increased its share of the A380 engine market to the point where it will now power the majority of the super-jumbo fleet.

Ground testing of the engine began in April 2004, and is expected to join the A380 flight test programme the following year.
