<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2792914, member: 78244&quot;]I am not aware of these being on the aircraft. Does not mean they&#039;re not. I have not worked with the engines yet. The engines are positioned next to the baggage compartment, so in the case of an uncontained engine failure, the fragments should not enter the cabin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as other rear-engined aircraft (DC-9 family, DC-10, MD-11, etc), the nacelles and engine casings are designed to contain a turbine shattering and prevent fragments from entering the cabin. In only one case that I know of has an engine failure directly caused a fatality. Others failures have damaged flight control systems (hydraulic lines) or penetrated the cabin without injury (737 this time).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
