• Abstract:
  This report presents statistics relating to gas turbine engine rotor failures which occurred during 1982 in U.S. commercial aviation service use. One hundred and sixty-one rotor failures occurred in 1982. Rotor fragments were generated in 88 of the failures and, of these, 16 were uncontained. The predominant failure involved blade fragments. Seventy percent of the 161 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 analysis, proposed regulatory actions, certification standards, and cost benefit analyses.
