A380 Blade Off Test

I like how they translated 9 million pounds to 900 million pounds in the subtitles. Anyway, great video

nothke, lol, i bet she likes rusty fan blades.

... really...? Yes, considering the millions upon millions of cumulative hours every turbo fan on every aircraft is running through out a year, it is fantastic that this only happens once every three years. Its inevitable that a piece of metal rotating at 3000 rpm is going to eventually fail. And anyway, the point of the test was to contain the blad within the engine when it separated and not go shooting out somehwere... like the fuselage containing the passengers. So yes, that is good.

hilary barton looks like a man

Watching the numbered and colored blades slowly rotate is strangely hypnotic.

I bet that female engineer isn't complaining about how unfair it is that on average, for every dollar a man earns, a woman earns .75

Much respect to everyone in this vid

lol that was such an awesome sound!

they mean one fan blade fail in all aircraft over the world in 3 years time.
