Do planes ever fly with different engines?
Pratt on one wing, GE on the other.

No... That would always be unbalanced thrust... Also, usually 1 will compliment the other especially with the FADEC's.. It is either GE, Pratt, or Rolls Royce.
One has to learn to let the clutch pedal out slowly. Once mastered, a GTF can be driven, aside from downshifting, even without depression of the clutch pedal.
I think Bombardier must have mastered it then..Airbus is in too much a hurry..lol
I always like Pratt Engines... Cut my teeth working on the JT8-D's.... And I love the old R-1830's... Any one who does know what an R-1830 is is too young to ask... They have always made great engines and have supported us through many wars!
Pratt-&-Whitney for many years flew Learjet 36-001 as a test aircraft with a 731 engine on the left side and whatever P&W engine it was testing on the right.
Yes I do remember the R-1830’s. What’s the old saying, “If God had intended man to fly with flat motors, Pratt-&-Whitney would have built one.
