I wonder if prop planes would have the same problems?

an analogical video...truly amazing...
-
wise engineers should have solutions to this....

@DeltaPhi79 In general, if you're talking about a matter of engineering, and you think you have thought up a simple solution that thousands of very smart engineers haven't used, you're wrong.
Exactly why, I can't say for certain, but I imagine a "giant dust filter" would also slow down the velocity of air flowing through, thus making the engine not work. Also, what do you expect to happen when that filter gets clogged with dust, as would quickly happen when dealing with volcanic ash?

@counterclockwise123 Who says they haven't?
The problem isn't that they don't understand it. They understand exactly what the effects of flying through volcanic ash will be. The problem is that you can't really design a jet engine to handle it without substantially sacrificing power-to-weight ratios, if it can handle it at all. There are simply some things that are not feasible engineering wise.

@damianpaz yes thats what i thought, honestly!

@thetimster99 It was a sort of a liquid spacing over the turbines blocking the air passages.

I heard the same noise at 2:26, it doesn't seem like a fart. And either way, it doesn't matter.

@sixtysymbols One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole barrel. A reference to "everyone".

@lopzilla No but trained as a chemist and trained to think and analyse rigourously. All I was saying was by the time the ash cloud reached Europe it was far more diffuse than in the BA and KLM incidents. And what do we find now? The ash levels were 20 times lower than that deemed unsafe to fly in.
