Always amazes me that these things can land in a residential area but don't hit a house or a car. Just lands in a front garden. It is great that the plane landed safely. Thankfully in this day and age that's possible and a major disaster can be avoided by the design of the plane and how it can function after a major structural failure.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 11 minutes ago, Barack said: Ah. Fair. As FinBarr's said. That's more than likely aluminium. But it won't have floated down like paper from a few thousand feet, would it? Will still weigh a decent amount. 🤷♂️ You certainly don't want to get hit by it Barack but if it hit a water starved lawn ie, dry as feck, would it mark/dent it?

Tazio Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I remember an Airbus A380 dumped a fair bit of engine over the sea near Singapore and they were taken out of service. Not long after I was flying to Australia on a Qantas flight and it was an A380 that the pilot took great pleasure in telling us was their first flight in one since they were withdrawn. Not what you want to hear just before you do an first leg all the way to Singapore. Glad it did though 100% quieter and more comfortable than a 747.

They come in different sizes, depending on the size of the airframe. The three major suppliers of jet engines are Rolls Royce, GE, and Pratt and Whitney.

This will be spinned by the usual suspects in the media as how flying is dangerous, a few posters have already said they would never fly again if they saw this. Reactionary nonsense. You are statistically 1000s of times more likely to die driving to the airport than on the plane itself. The real story should be how an engine failed that badly, yet the pilots brought it back safe with no injuries. But that doesn't sell stories does it?

Sharpie Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just heard a little news clip on radio. The news reader was saying that the manufacturers of the engine built in as a safeguard the exact response that occurred in case of such a malfunction of the engine. Its somewhat worrying for me for the safety of others, I no longer travel, to know that there is a plan to mitigate to some extent a failure. Would it not be more precise not to manufacture engines with a probable/possible source of failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure it was a 777, maybe getting mixed up with the one in Japan, again a P&W engine, sure the Japanese have banned them as well.

Maple Leaf Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 After seeing video of the engine fire on the Denver 777, it was extremely fortunate that the plane got safely back on the ground. The integrity of the wing could easily have been compromised, or the fuel tanks in the wing could have caught fire. Either of those would have resulted in a disaster. This incident is a huge problem for P&W. If there is a flaw in the design or manufacture of the engine fan blades it will be difficult to fix, and no-one will want to fly in planes with those engines while it is unresolved.
