I know you couldn't do the same things with an Airbus A340. It's 4 engines are all weak and if you lost one of them, you'd probably crash.

Many of Boeing's aircraft use the same engines that Airbus' do - Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Rolls Royce.

Just as car engines differ in power, so do aircraft engines.
