    Engine manufacturers

    0 = General Electric
    1 = CFM International
    2 = Pratt & Whitney

    3 = International Aero Engines


    4 = Rolls-Royce
    6 = Engine Alliance

    The engine manufacturer is usually shown as the second digit after the hyphen
    in the Airbus code, like this A3xx-xXx. The only exception from this rule is some
    few early A300B2 and A300B4 variants. From the introduction of the A310 and
    onwards the standard naming convension has been in use.
