Blade out test on a turbofan engine.

This is a test on various turbofan engines which are engines they use on on commercial airliners. They use an explosive charge to released a fan blade from the engine too see if it could withstand the forces when unbalanced.

You are more at risk in a car than in a plane.

what a cool job to have,, destroying some of the most powerful engines in the world.

[dave38x]

@tman1gtsi hardly. Clearly operational safety just isnt important on an engine which - if it fails - results in the death of a plane full of people...

[myosat]

the question is: will it blend???

[Alpharius93]

@WisdomVendor And expensive too...

[jimnrel]

Its a shame that it didnt work in the QANTAS engine failure..

That was so close to total the plane.

After all the years you would think RR couldnt stuff up a oil feed pipe.

@greatbritainwba Unless there's snakes on the plane!!

@tman1gtsi The engine in the last part was 9 million pounds

@tman1gtsi not testing this stuff results in wasted lives. They want to know exactly what will happen under every possible scenario when something goes wrong on a passenger aircraft. In my opinion life is worth more than paper, but I guess not everyone will agree.

@tman1gtsi not a waste, its important to test how that engine behaves in case blade goes off. if it explodes mid air it may result to death of hundred passengers. im so sherlock here :)
