One thing I wish the media would get right is, if a fan blade breaks off the rotor hub and destroys an engine, that's not Boeing's fault. Airlines usually have a few choices as to which engine they want to put on a given model, and Boeing delivers the airplane with the selected engine. To paraphrase Crichton, if the tires on your new Chevy blow out, that's Firestone's fault, not GM's.Yet the media puts the 777 under scrutiny, not the actual PW4000 engine that had the uncontained failure, or United's engine inspection practices. It's not like the 737 MAX, where bad software reading bad data created a single point of failure causing the aircraft to crash and burn. Boeing was rightly criticized for it's development and handling of the MCAS feature. However, this incident has (on first examination) nothing to do with the actual 777 design. |

And previously it was the CFM56 that failed multiple times on Southwest 737's. What is most important is knowing the cycles on the engine, cause of failure, etc. It might be something as benign as engines nearing the previously suggested inspection points, but that the inspections should be more frequent, or ingestion of something into the engine. |

Just blaze the headline. Talk to a pilot about blade/engine failure, not Technical people. It's to early to tell what happened yet.It appears two fan blades broke, causing a compressor stall, which took out the entire nose cowl, fan cowls and c duct sleeves. The Lurkers'Guild GE90/Trent equipped 777's no Pratts here. |
