- Variant Notes
- Boeing FAA A20WE data identifies CF6-80C2B1 for the 747-400 series; the canonical relationship remains the exact existing CF6 family node because no suffix-level CF6-80C2B1 node is present.

- Name
- Boeing 747-400 Pratt & Whitney PW4056 installation

- Variant Notes
- Four Rolls-Royce RB211-family turbofans corresponding to the documented RB211-524G2 747-400 option; exact -524G2 node is not present.
- Name
- Boeing 747-400 Rolls-Royce RB211-524G2 family installation
- Notes
- Boeing identifies RB211-524G2 as an available 747-400 engine option; the exact suffix node is absent, so the canonical RB211 family node is linked at family precision without inventing a suffix record.
