I would like to see a car driven being one of these engines at takeoff thrust (about 115,000 lbs):
This engine has the most thrust ever produced for a passenger airliner.
Here's a quote from General Electric's website:
"Originally certified in 1995 at 84,700 pounds of thrust, today's GE90 engines power newer, more advanced Boeing 777 aircraft capable of flying farther, faster and more efficiently than their predecessors.
The most recent derivative of the GE90, the GE90-115B, is the sole powerplant for Boeing's longer-range 777-300ER and 777-200LR aircraft. The GE90-115B certified at 115,000 lbs. of thrust and has broken a number of aviation records.
The Guinness Book of World Records recognized the engine as the "World's Most Powerful Commercial Jet Engine" in 2001 after it recorded an amazing 123,000 lbs. of steady-state thrust while undergoing initial ground testing. In late 2002, the engine shattered its original record by reaching 127,900 lbs. of thrust during required certification testing.
Since the introduction of Boeing's longer-range 777 in early 2000, the GE90 has been the best-selling engine for that aircraft family."
