Statistics on Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Rotor Failures that Occurred in U.S. Commercial Aviation During 1983.
Abstract
This report presents statistics relating to gas turbine engine rotor failures which occurred during 1983 in commercial aviation service use. One-hundred and seventy-two failures occurred in 1983. Rotor fragments were generated in 96 of the failures and , of these, 9 were uncontained. The predominant failures involved blade fragments, 95.4 percent of which were contained. Five disk failures occurred and four were uncontained. Fifty-nine percent of the 172 failures occurred during the takeoff and climb stages of flight. This service data analysis is prepared on a calendar year basis and published yearly. The data support flight safety analyses, proposed regulatory actions, certification standards, and cost benefit analyses. (FR)
