> Boeing is having trouble with some of the engines of the 787 (Dreamliner).

if you really want to see "new engine trouble", compare the following engines' sales and recalls:

shitty engine, skip down to the engine removals section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_PW1000G

non shitty engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFM_International_LEAP

the CFM1000 has been a nearly unmitigated disaster for PW. Massive defects and removals from aircraft/recalls. It's reflected in its sales numbers compared to the LEAP as well.

Ouch. Well, those are some really bad engine problems.

So what you are saying is, the 787 engine problems isn't as bad as they seem compared to these other engines?

Any thoughts of the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB compared to the 787 engines?
