The engines are HUGE. Next generation will need to find some solution.... the wing above the fuselage or the engine above wings  |

Looking at the hi res version, it's actually been covered up with some sort of white wrapping. |

Nicely spotted. Now the question is: why?

May be to protect the already painted areas to apply something extra on the mid / rear fuselage section which is not covered up ?

I think Airbus should have applied large PW1000G and CFM LEAP titles on the fuselage to distinguish between the types for PR. The current titles on the engines are a little inconspicuous.
