a GE CF6 can be split and a PW 4000 engine and then can be transported in the cargo belly of the aircraft. A RR can't thus the requirement for the V-Pod. There is only provisions for the engine to be installed on the left of the wing. There are 4 holes which have plugs in them. Perhaps someone who works around the eastern airports there can go up to a jumbo and take a photo?
