Mick,

Oh, I don't know......GE,GM,Ford,Humana,DoD,etc. Get the picture....BTW, not gold plated or diamond studded. They do use quite of bit of Cad and Nickel plating, though.
The AVERAGE cost of a PT6A(the engine I worked on the most) is nearly $1 million for a
new one, around $500,000 for a reman. You REALLY don't want to talk about what turbofans go for these days.
