What about the A340-300 
Unless you also consider the A380 as a classic, that’s not a classic

Yes, I said it. The A320 is a classic compared to the 77L. It came out almost 20 years before the latter.

A220 is the most classic airliner, by far

Yes, and the Wright Flyer is the most modern aircraft. Of course.

it was some crappy wright engine iirc
Yeah it was Wright
Not crappy though.
They made almost 4,000 B-29s, and just because the engines needed a lot of maintenance didn’t mean they were necessarily bad. I’m not saying they didn’t have their issues.
Though it was 1945 and the technology just wasn’t there for the demand they put the aircraft through. It was a heavy bomber after all.
Maybe it would’ve been better for P&Ws to be used

idk man, if your priority has to be to gain speed instead of altitude to prevent the engine from overheating, I’d say it’s say it’s a crappy engine

Yet they did have the technology for the advanced systems used for firing. Quite advanced for 1945.
So I don’t know. Maybe they didn’t build an engine tough enough. Could’ve worked for lighter aircraft. I’d have to research more.

Doing better than RR that’s for sure.
And GE just likes to bribe people. There I said it.
