re: The new engine for the 777x looks amazingly and comically huge

They must have a huge amount of rudder trim dialed in, or they pull back the power on the two starboard engines to compensate for the additional drag of that engine.

Even though that new engine develops the thrust of two smaller engines I wonder if they still have to use a lot of rudder trim, or pull back the power on the two starboard engines to compensate for the additional drag of that big engine.

I know you're a very knowledgeable guy about aviation so I have to ask you is the idea about a two engined 747 using those kind of engines and the gears being jacked up really that far fetched of an idea?
The 777 may be an awesome plane and is definitely the future of long haul VLA travel but I will always have a place in my heart for the Queen of the Skies and as bad as United has went down the shitter recently, I did everything I could to snag one last flight on their 747s before they retired. Domestic flight. San Fran to Orlando. 10/10 would recommend.

Drag?
Depending on the exact model of the other engines, that 777X can spit out more thrust than those two combined, and is certainly in the ballpark.
More likely they killed the port engine, and let the experimental take the full side, and used the methods you described to fine tune.

I'm kind of hoping it just flies in circles.
