Honest Answer! Raymond LIM Siang Keat did a Changi Kuku bird hit Quantas Engine!

Dear Motor

The bird is not indestructible bird. Any bird would have been chopped up by the fan blades in front. no bits would have been left to damage the rear of the engine or turbine blades where it occurred on the Quantas A380.

The front fan blades rotate at over 6000 RPMs per second. Any bird would have been minced meat.

Btw the damaged happened at 6,000 feet. WHAT FOD ? and heck any FOD would not have damaged the rear.



Thanks

The photo above showed that the A380 engine which damaged is super huge compared against the 2 firemen there, the front air in-take is about 2 meters. It may not be so easily damaged by a relatively small SGP kuku bird. Bird can get through between huge gap between frontal blades, and then impact only happened further inside. 6krpm from this engine sucks air in rapidly, bird also gets in at very high speed. It may miss some blades initially. Smaller turbines have tiny gaps in between frontal blades. Those light helicopters or private jets, there is no space between blades wider than wingspan of a bird the size o KFC chicken.

There is no fixed rule how damages mush happen in every case.

Cheers!

BTW:

SPH is trying now to blame volcanic ash.

If it was indeed volcanic ash then it proved that Yaacob's NEA & CAAS had completely failed to monitor and warn pilots in the region, causing this serious consequence. They are supposed to track volcanic ash and even shut-down Changi Airport when necessary. They did it in entire Europe during Iceland volcanic eruption. Fucked up (self-claimed) World BEST Govt and Airport! Puke! Exposed themselves again! KNN! :oIo:

Dear Motor

I suggest you educate yourself vis sa vis youtube as to how fan blades are tested for new engines designs and how frozen chickens are shot at high speed.

The RPM's are so high that anything would be chopped into mince meat by the fan in front. There is repeat no possibility of any bird missing the spinning blades in front.
