Over just a shitty bird?
Don't these engines go through testing for such an eventuality?

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
Not sure how old the engine is, but it may have shattered a blade or two. You have to think of the speed it was going, also the speed at which a jet engine would ingest an object.lavadisk wrote:

Ya that engine didn't look to healthy!lavadisk wrote:

haha
Hopefully I'll have forgotten about this before i fly to Paris next month
They do. But if the engine was old and one engine had a weak blade, that weak blade can come loose, and take some other things with it.m3thod wrote:

Well its a short flight, hopefully we'll be able to glide most of the way thereMiller wrote:

Watch this bird take down a jet. They eject at the end.
This is what it sounds like inside.....around the 47 second mark.crimson_grunt wrote:

"Mayday, mayday, going down. Bird stuck in right engine."
Emo bird.
Emo bird.
We spend millions of bucks developing high-end missiles that don't necessarily guarantee a kill, and yet a fucking bird takes out a multimillion (billion?) dollar fighter jet.lavadisk wrote:

That wouldn't be pleasant for the passengers. They've got to be shitting themselves at that point.usmarine2005 wrote:

Guys...it is not "just a bird," it is the speed it hits. If you jump off a tall bridge into the water, why can you possibly kill yourself or hurt yourself? Its just water right?
We need FORCE FIELDS AROUND OUR ENGINES!

i know this has been posted before but it shows how much air is being drawn in to the intake. And these are smallish engine nothing like the cavernous units on a 757.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
A single paper clip will shred a jet engine. That is why the crew on an aircraft carrier will line up and walk the length of the deck several times a day to check for any small items. You could throw a rock at an aircraft engine without damaging it, but when air is being sucked in at several hundred mph, a bird will wreck it.

The engine no, the planes designed to be able to land safely and manoeuvre with one engine though.m3thod wrote:

Nope. Engines go thru bird tests during certification.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

I figure a blown engine would be nothing more than a nuisance on civvie jets. It must be a sucky way to go for the bird though.
"La la la, I'm a bird"
"What the fu-"
"AAH OH GOD MY BONES AAGRGHGH MY LEGS MY WINGS AAA-"
edit: That is to say, the jet would still fly fine and land fine. It wouldn't be "IMMINENT CRASH - DANGER DANGER".
