Cessna Citation Engine Damage

[Admin]

A Citation that had a bit of a problem after they strapped a Jabiru engine to the side of the aircraft :peepwall:

 

Apparently there is a hoax going around saying that it is damage from volcano ash...now who would fall for that ;)

This is pretty bad, and will cost the owner a packet to repair. My only doubt about this failure being caused by the Ash cloud is what about the other engine ???

 

 

[stanzahero]

An ash cloud would have sand-blasted the aircraft.. One image shows the fuselage still has a good paint job.

 

 

[hihosland]

it was not an ash cloud event the following link describes what happened to this german registered citation

 

CEN10RA135

 

Although one must note that the reporters do not discount the possible involvement of a Jabiru

 

cheers

Damage.

 

Any detached blade or object going through the motor, produces more and more devastation downstream, especially if it goes thru the entire engine and not just the fan section. Nev

 

 

[Guest Andys@coffs]

The TF30 engines that drive the F111 have a titanium containment casing that was tested to complete fan blade failure at full speed(done with explosive bolts on each fan blade). The movie of that test is astounding as the case in slow motion seems to expand to double its original size. At the end, no blade pierced the containment case, even though out the back was indeed a major disaster to watch.

 

With the number of blades that pierced the containment casing and the external cowling on these photos, I'd have to say that the crew were lucky that nothing flew into the back of the aircraft and damaged flight control functionality...

 

Thats why I avoid, if at all possible, the seats that align with the red line on the engines of the big burners and any seats plus or minus a few rows as I have no desire to become an instant sieve, or an pressure seal against a breached wall. And yeah I know its extremely unlikely.....but not zero%.

 

In order to be shown as completely illogical, I happily fly ultralights.

 

On the burners I also refuse to wear anything synthetic from a clothing perspective and always have long trousers and long shirts and leather footwear If im ever unlucky enough to be in a cabin fire I intend to try and survive. I note that the cabin crew often have synthetic based uniforms and believe that the airlines are putting marketing over safety, unless they are fire retardant treated.

Engine Damage.

 

The notable thing here is that the failure was uncontained. why???

 

I never like being in line with the prop on a twin either. I have flown some pretty ordinary ultralights. I always said I never would BUT.... The best reason to own your own plane is that you know where it's been. Women are the same. Never lend either. Nev

I read on a BBC news site this morning, that Easyjet have been testing an infrared warning system to detect volcanic ash.

 

It's claimed to be able to detect ash particles between 5,000 and 50,000ft AGL from as far away as 100 miles, so the pilot then has a chance to avoid it.

 

Thought you guys might be interested in the article.
