Top 50 Engines
This should be a very interesting article.
50 Amazing Aircraft Engines | Flying Magazine
Anybody care to mention their favorites (before looking at the article
)
I'm a particular fan of the PT6A-60A at present.
I feel certain that the PT-6 series will be high on the list.

Well with 58 tries he named a few of the obvious ones, but I would add the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G and Wankels plus aircraft steam engines and solar powered engines. When you think about it "amazing engine" means nothing and everything. How about ion thrusters and hydrogen burners? A bunch of developmental rocket engines come to mind also. How about the space ladder? That is an engine, it does work and qualifies as "amazing".
