Not really sure what 'de' means here. I presume 'libras' is pounds?

PW 4000 with 54,000 lbs thrust
The Pratt & Whitney PW4000 is a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines with certified thrust ranging from 52,000 to 99,040 lbf (230 to 441 kN). It was built as the successor to the JT9D series engines and has found much wider application than its predecessor. It is divided into 3 distinct families based on fan diameter. The PW4000 was the first commercial high by-pass turbofan designed with a "Dual FADEC" system.
Note from asker:
| This looks good Patinba - but shouldn´t 4.000 be 4,000 as opposed to 4000? And maybe 'lbs' should be 'lb' followed by a hyphen? 54,000lb-thrust? What do you reckon? |
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks Patinba! The '4.000' in the original threw me (supposed to be 4000)."

Engines
The DC-10's General Electric and Pratt & Whitney power plants represented significant advances in engine performance and technology over earlier jet engines. The high bypass ratio turbofans yield lower specific fuel consumption, lower noise levels, smokeless exhaust, easier maintenance and design for high reliability. Thrust ratings range from 40,000 to 54,000 pounds (17,144 to 24,494 kg). Two engines are mounted beneath the wings; the third is above the aft fuselage at the base of the vertical stabilizer.
