| Jan 12, 2016 at 19:05 | comment | added | egid | This question could use some clarification, as new models are obviously being built that combine older airframe designs with new engines (737, 747, A320 all spring to mind immediately). I assume you're asking if an airplane built in, say, the 1980s could be updated with 21st century engines? | |
