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!
Working on those 1830's in the cold wasn't fun though...think Northwest Territories wintertime in Canada..lol
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.
