testing the a380 engine

[angelkmg]

a worker is stuck there!

[ghettoperson257]

wow the camera looked like it shook when the engine blew

[2609yannick]

if this engone was used in a real plane.... Crash!

[bboybieber]

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm fail

[octopussy51]

ACME !! BY WILLY COYOTE !!!!!

[philcald]

Excellent, wouldn't like to be in the air if that happened in flight though..

[MrPhooey]

If you listen carefully that was a controlled engine failure, they were counting down and then you hear "Fire" when the engine fries. Honestly that looked like a very nice test. Being in school for AME training, I've seen far worse tests and deadlier failures.

[FPVXR8ED]

either way mate i think if anything like that happend the plane would be fucked

[petrhsr]

@FPVXR8ED - QF 32

[metin24Life]

@FPVXR8ED The plane lost in this case maybe a engine but it not would be "fucked".

[garlex134]

Wouldnt that like throw the plane far of course if that happened. And wouldnt that strat a fire on the wing?

[neildaust]

and from what that said it passed the test. check it out, it goes for a couple of hours and goes over the whole design and construction process

[neildaust]

i saw the doco on this, they had to do this to test something, i forget what but i think it was testing to see how the blades on the fan would hold up if something got sucked into it mid flight.

[SteU4IA]

well there goes 15mil : )

[tweak2487]

the airbus 380 has 4 of these puppys so if one dies ur gonna be fine this was demonstarting a fan blade breaking off and going threw the engine to insure no shrapnal flew into the passenger or plane area

[TdUfAn1]

fuckin BANG

[Baptisteiom]

What a waste, i could have thought of a better way to use it, like attatching it to a go kart of the like - not sure how, but still would be fun

[rich17279]

Is that a Rolls Royce engine?

[garlex134]

Yes, for the a380.

[ghettoperson257]

@rich17279 yeah it was

[itsmacintosh]

I have seen this test before. They put a timed explosive charge in the engine and set it off to simulate a injector failure in the engine. Those engines are built with accuracy and have to undergo rigorous testes before the design is opted for use

[3v0six]

That makes you feel safe!

[karlipot]

that a bad engine lol

[nederwiet1]

actually it's not

[musicISlyf1]

idk but has any1 else lately been noticing that their are more frequent airplane accidents i really dont like flying either

[MotionOrbProductions]

there are multiple airplane incidents that the the news doesn't report, but that doesn't make them any less safe, its a lot easier to get killed in your car than in an airplane.

[musicISlyf1]

Yea i know but at least when your in a car there might be able to get help once ur up there idk how much assistance you can get.
