The weight of an airplane engine can vary significantly depending on the type and size of the aircraft. A small general aviation engine might weigh around 200 to 400 pounds (90 to 180 kg), while larger jet engines used in commercial aircraft can weigh several thousand pounds, often ranging from 3,000 to 15,000 pounds (1,400 to 6,800 kg) or more. For instance, a typical turbofan engine for a large airliner can weigh between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds (2,300 to 4,500 kg).
