Airliner external combustion engine

I've never seen flames come out of the thrust reverser doors before. Turned into an external combustion engine.

UA328 is a 26 year old Boeing 777-200, tail number N772UA. Took off, did a circut and landed back at Denver.

Holy crap!

Laying by the house and truck gives a good perspective.

I don't know, kinda looks like something is missing! I'll bet there were a lot of puckered sphincters on that flight. Glad no one hurt.

I know mine would have been. Then you got to get on another flight.

Diameter of the fan disk and blades is 112 inches. There have been previous incidents of fan blade failure, resulting in destuction of the entire fan disk and cowling.

Wouldn't of been puckered. Would've been expelling everywhere

Clean up in aisle 6.
I'll bet that person expelled something, maybe 3 somethings. Expletives, urine, and poop. Not necessarily all at the same time but possibly.

United Airlines is going to be paying out a lot of money. Then they will go after P&W.

Depends. I work in an aircraft shop. Actually making stuff for Boeing last week and next. They’ll do a lot of investigating to determine if it was a manufacturer issue or maintenance issue. Being a 26 year old plane there’s parts that should have been replaced, and if that’s found to have been skipped they’ll be in deep ****. Any fly parts have documentation and inspections out the ass

Some of the engine tests at rolls Royce are pretty cool to watch if you’ve never seen them.

Was a jet engine tech for my first 14 years in the USAF. Liked working on GE engines. Didn't like working on P&W engines. Just different design details (like Ford vs VW). Also worked Garrett Aux Power Units. Did everything from in-shop tear-down/build-up, to test cell, to flightline maintenance and engine runs.

This exact scenario is trained for by airline pilots in a simulator every 6-12 months.

Hope the crew had a nice cold beer or three...after their mandatory DOT drug test.

This will be tracked all the way back to the mill that made the initial materials. The documentation is incredible. Every step will be scrutinized.

Yep, my pappy told me to never get higher than pickin corn nor lower than diggin taters.
I've been on a plane that had a major mishap with an engine.
Trays to go in the upright position so you can kiss your arse good bye.
