Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7B Engine Fan Blade Unboxing

This aircraft was said to be from a 727, 200 or 100 I'm not sure. In this video you can see it pretty dirty but after about 4 hours of constant sanding and polishing it looks like a jewel!

These are available on Ebay, But the ones for $200+ are airworthy, Mine had signs of rust on one of the spacers but the blade was fully intact.

I got it for $9 and $12 shipping and I was the only bidder, so I got lucky I guess.

Its a precious little thing to have from an engine that is ending its service in the next few years.

And Thanks for Watching!

[Helicopterpilot16]

@tatroshus Its a master piece of engineering, But it also belongs to and engine that is very rare in the commercial aviation world.

I still repair these engines and can get anyone one of these blades or other unserviceable parts from the engine.  Just send me an e-mail.

[Helicopterpilot16]

@jt8man Great! Whats your price? And any intake bullets?

[doingthatthang]

Nice blade, it would look great on my tool box.

1 down about another thousand more and you can build an engine

Can you post a link to the seller's page? I really want one of these..

And if collecting aviation-stuff is your thing, you should request info. from Big Ass Fans. They use "airfoils" as a template to design their ceiling fan blades.. they sent me a sample of one of these airfoils (free!).. it's really cool.
