Hey, thanks for the reply/info.

That aspect didn't even enter my thought process. Let this be a shining example of the effects of Nyquel (sp?) and how it dulls the mind.

Y'all stay clear of this H1N1 flu stuff. It is really no fun......

The RB211 almost killed Lockheed and the L-1011 program.....

Shoulda gone with P&W Power

Lockheed`s decision to build the #2 engine compartment so small that it would only accomidate the RB211 and not a Pratt or GE engine is what almost killed the L1011. Of course the crappy origional RB211 was also a big factor. Thank Pratt and Whitney for help correcting the problems. Plastic fan blades and an aluminum case just wouldn`t work. Also thank the Delta mechs for devising a way to bore scope the engines to keep them from coming apart.
