A modern turbofan can run for 20,000+ hours on-wing before removal for overhaul. That's longer than many car engines last in total.
- extraduder_ire 1y agoMost cars don't operate for >12 hours a day every day. Last time I randomly checked the flight history of a Ryanair 737 on flightradar24, it had spent over 18 and a half of the previous 24 hours airborne.
