As a result, the Trent 1000 has lost significant market share to the GEnx, which at one point was seen as the 'other' engine choice for the Dreamliner. However, Rolls-Royce has been working hard to improve the Trent 1000, and it seems Rolls-Royce might be back.

Hydrogen could have a big role to play in the future of aviation.
For decades, Pratt & Whitney was one of the three dominant names in large commercial aircraft propulsion. Its PW4000 family powered hundreds of widebodies, including early Boeing 777s, 767s, and 747s, as well as Airbus A330s.Today, however, the competitive landscape looks dramatically different, and new-generation passenger widebody entering service are powered by either GE Aerospace or Rolls-Royce, leaving Pratt & Whitney absent from an entire generation of flagship aircraft.
