Jet engine maintenance isn’t so hard

Posted in Humor by Reuben Drake on September 29th, 2007

An airline out of China was found to have strapped engine blades with seat beltsCheck out this picture from earlier this year of what reportedly is a jet engine for a Chinese commercial airline. The jet stopped off at an airport in Germany just for fuel already looking like this. Apparently this engine, which wasn’t working anyway, had straps holding the fan blades from freely turning in the wind because it caused too much vibration during flight. What really tops this off is that these strategically placed straps are actually seat belts from inside the plane.

Thanks Jeff.

    You will find they will have placed those straps on prior to transporting it to its pictured location, as a windmilling engine can still do some damage!!
