Technically not but okay.

Heavy 757 takeoff from JWA with no winglets

Those P&Ws :fire:

H O W ?

If it is better, then why does almost nobody fly it anymore?

It was good for itā€™s time, but it would fail miserably in todayā€™s world. Poor fuel economy, loud af (yes, I know you prefer that png, but most of the world holds a different opinion).

I mean, there are still many loud engines in use with numerous airlines, meaning that they choose to continue flying the aircraft for a specific reason, for example operating capabilities.

I didnā€™t know Qantas had GE engined 747s.

We used to get their 747s all day.
