Original engine
Air in compressed ignition thrust
Turbojet
Original engine
Air in compressed ignition
thrust
Easy to determine FOD look at first
blade
Look at remains and judge
power/thrust
Turbofan
Turboprop
Turboshafts
Investigation
Considerations
Investigation
Considerations
Power determination
More rotation = more power
Compressor blades bend opposite direction
of rotation turning during impact
Investigation
Considerations
Temperature determination
Outside of engine discoloration
Combustion section melting
Blades intact, but have metallic grit
Creep elongation of metal
11th place
The shipyard mechanics
FOD
Most common
Damage during impact most severe in
front of impact and reduce as you go
back
Opposite for FOD more damage as
you go back since engine is still
spinning
Birds, ice, metal parts of engine
Volcanic Ash
Compressor Stall
Accessory Failure
Analyze whether in flight or impact
Fuel pump will shutdown engine
Thrust Reverser
Usually obvious
Bearing Failure
